Fighters Storm Police Station in Northwest Pakistan, Resulting in at Least 20 Deaths | News报道

A deadly attack was carried out on a military base in northwestern Pakistan, resulting in at least 20 deaths and 34 injuries. Armed men rammed a vehicle laden with explosives into the main gate of the police station used as a base camp by the Pakistani army, followed by a gun attack. The attack took place in the town of Daraban, located on the edge of the lawless tribal regions bordering Afghanistan. The Tehreek-e-Jihad Pakistan (TJP), a group linked to the outlawed Pakistan Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack. The TJP seeks to overthrow the Pakistani government and impose religious laws. The region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has experienced a surge in violence, with several deadly attacks occurring recently. The TTP, while a separate entity, is closely aligned with the Taliban in Afghanistan and has become emboldened while living openly since the Taliban takeover of the country. The attack underscores the ongoing security challenges faced by Pakistan and the continued threat posed by militant groups in the region.
