  "account": "An explosion involving an improvised vehicle bomb in northwest Pakistan claimed at least 14 lives and injured several others on Friday, according to police reports. The attack took place at a police compound in the city of Kohat, according to a local police official. A vehicle loaded with explosives rammed into a gate and detonated, causing damage to a mosque on the compound. The attack occurred during Friday prayers, raising concerns about higher casualty numbers. Over 50 victims were taken to a nearby hospital, an Afghan-Pakistani doctor told Deutsche Presse-Agentur. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack as unrest continues in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Both a regional wing of the Islamic State (IS) and the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) are active in the Afghan-Pakistan border region. Security in the area has deteriorated in recent years, with a similar suicide bombing in Swat Valley killing 14 people just days ago. The incident occurred in front of a police station where hundreds had gathered to protest against growing violence in the region. Similar attacks against policemen have also taken place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the months leading up to this one. Pakistan accuses the Taliban government in neighboring Afghanistan of harboring terrorist groups in the border region. Kabul denies the allegations. Tensions between the two countries escalated in spring 2026, with regular cross-border firing since then.",
