In the early hours of the morning, a police station in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa turns into a battlefield. A brutal attack leaves ten police officers dead and several injured.
Shortly before the general election, at least ten police officers were killed in an attack on a police station in Pakistan. Six others were injured, local officials said.
The attackers threw hand grenades at a police station in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa before sunrise. There was then a firefight that lasted for hours.
It initially remained unclear which group was responsible for the attack. There has been an increasing number of attacks by militant Islamist groups in Pakistan for some time now, especially by the Pakistani Taliban (TTP). They recently announced that they did not want to disrupt the parliamentary elections planned for Thursday with attacks or attacks. At the same time, they emphasized their continued hostility towards the security authorities. Despite their ideological proximity, the TTP are independent of the Taliban who rule in neighboring Afghanistan.
