Pakistani Army Suicide Attack: At least 13 soldiers were killed in a suicide attack in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Saturday. At the same time, 10 soldiers were badly injured. This attack took place when a military convoy was passing through the northwestern district of North Waziristan. This area is located close to the border of Afghanistan and has been affected by terrorism for a long time.
In the attack, the suicide bomber rammed a vehicle full of explosives into the convoy, causing a huge explosion. Many soldiers have also been seriously injured in this attack. So far no organization has taken responsibility for this attack, but it is believed that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or any group associated with it may be behind it. This area has witnessed such deadly attacks before. The army and security agencies are conducting search operations in the area, while the injured have been admitted to nearby military hospitals. This attack has again raised big questions on the security system of Pakistan.

Due to this increase, Pakistan has now come to the second place among the countries most affected by terrorism in the world. The report says that areas like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan of Pakistan have become centers of extremist activities, where both security forces and common citizens are constantly being targeted.
