Pakistan: Blast in Bajaur leaves five, including an assistant commissioner, dead
At least five people, including an assistant commissioner, were killed and 11 others were injured after a blast rocked a government vehicle in Pakistan's Bajaur district on Wednesday.
Bajaur District Police Officer (DPO) Waqas Rafique told Dawn News that five people, including two policemen and a civilian, were killed in an explosion targeting the vehicle on Nawagai Road in Siddiqabad railway attack area of Khar tehsil.
Local media reports said the deceased were identified as Nawagai Assistant Commissioner (AC) Faisal Ismail, Tehsildar Abdul Wakil, Subedar Noor Hakim, and police constable Rashid.
“The blast was so intense that the vehicle targeted was completely destroyed,” he said.
President Asif Ali Zardari has condemned the blast.
Pakistan has witnessed a spike in terror attacks in Balochistan and KP in recent times.
The rise in terror activity was seen specially after the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended its ceasefire with the government in November 2022.
