At least 10 to 11 police personnel, including a deputy superintendent and a sub-inspector, were killed and around 12 injured in a militant ambush on a police convoy in Kohat district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The police team was en route to conduct an operation against illegal gold mining when attackers, suspected to be affiliated with the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), opened fire from hilltops and set five police vehicles on fire. Security forces responded with a heavy exchange of fire, and reinforcements were deployed. The incident highlights ongoing security challenges in the region.
