Suicide Bombing Kills Dozens at Peace Rally in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
A suicide bombing targeted a peace rally in Kabal town, Swat district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, killing between seven and 14 people, including police officers, and injuring dozens. The attacker attempted to enter a police station but was stopped before detonating explosives near the main gate. The rally, organized by the local Swat Aman Jirga, aimed to demand peace and oppose militancy. No group has claimed responsibility, though suspicion falls on militant groups like the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Rescue operations and investigations are ongoing.
