At least 13 soldiers were killed and around 20 others injured on Saturday when a suicide bomber driving a vehicle packed with explosives crashed into a military convoy in northwest Pakistan. The attack took place in the volatile North Waziristan district, part of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, an area known for frequent militant activity and military operations. The explosion caused significant damage to the convoy, intensifying security concerns in the region.
Among the injured are at least 10 army personnel and 19 civilians, some of whom are reported to be in critical condition. Local authorities and emergency responders rushed to the scene to provide medical assistance and secure the area.
This latest attack highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Pakistan’s military in combating insurgent groups in the tribal regions, despite recent efforts to improve stability. The government condemned the attack and vowed to continue its fight against terrorism. An investigation is currently underway to identify those responsible and prevent future incidents.
