On September 26th, the counterterrorism department registered an FIR in Dera Ismail Khan following a devastating suicide attack on a checkpoint during the Aman Mela event.

The attack is believed to have been carried out by unidentified terrorists linked to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan's Sherani faction and the Mishal Group.
Police launched an investigation into the incident, which saw an explosive-laden vehicle ramming into the joint police, customs, and excise checkpoint at Aman Mela. Gunfire ensued after the blast, but was quelled by retaliatory action from local law enforcement.
In addition to the devastating explosion, another shooting occurred near the Al-Malika Hotel on the Dera Ismail Khan-Zhob road shortly after the checkpoint attack. This second incident resulted in the death of a Rescue 1122 ambulance worker and injuries to two others. Police have not yet identified the perpetrators, but are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding both attacks.
The FIR filed against the unidentified terrorists charges them with terrorism, murder, attempted murder, damage to government property, and other criminal provisions.
