Explosions: At least 14 dead in Pakistan car bomb attack

At least 14 people have been killed and dozens injured in a car bomb attack in Kohat, Pakistan. The bomb exploded at a police headquarters during Friday prayers, damaging a nearby mosque. Over 50 injured people were taken to a nearby hospital. No group has claimed responsibility, but both the Islamic State and Pakistani Taliban are active in the region. This is the latest in a series of attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where security has deteriorated in recent years.
