Pakistan police HQ explosion leaves 8 dead and 35 injured
At least eight people were killed and 35 wounded in an explosion at a historic police headquarters in Kohat, Pakistan.
An explosive-laden truck rammed into a mosque in Kohat, Pakistan, killing at least 16 people and injuring over 30 during Friday prayers. The blast occurred near the Old Police Lines in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, triggering a rescue operation as emergency teams searched through the rubble for survivors. Initial reports suggested an explosive-laden vehicle was involved, but the exact nature of the blast remains unclear.
No group has claimed responsibility yet, but suspicion may fall on the Pakistani Taliban, who have carried out previous attacks in the region.
