At least seven individuals lost their lives and 18 others sustained injuries following a suicide attack on the Kabal police station in Swat on Sunday. The Swat District Police Officer (DPO) Umar Khan reported that the bomber detonated explosives after being stopped and searched by police at the entrance. The DPO stated that seven people were killed and 18 injured, with further evidence collection underway.
The explosion took place near the police station gate while a public demonstration against recent terrorism was underway at Kabal Chowk. The blast caused panic among the crowd, prompting police and rescue teams to rush to the scene. The injured were transported to Saidu Sharif Teaching Hospital for treatment, while security forces cordoned off the area for investigation.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Earlier in the day, another IED explosion near the Peshawar-Islamabad motorway toll plaza injured two policemen in Peshawar. In July, Swat recorded a 105 percent increase in terrorism-related deaths compared to June, with 154 deaths reported.
