Militant Attacks Kill Several Policemen in Pakistan Amid Cross-Border Tensions

Militants attacked police vehicles in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, killing at least six to seven policemen, including senior officers, and injuring others. The assailants also set police vans ablaze and fled. In a related incident in Punjab, a suicide bombing killed two police officials and injured civilians. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for some attacks. These events follow Pakistan's recent airstrikes in Afghanistan targeting militant groups, which Kabul and the UN say caused civilian casualties, a claim denied by Islamabad. The Taliban condemned Pakistan's strikes as violations of sovereignty.
