At least five police officers were injured on Wednesday in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province when a remote-controlled explosive device detonated near their vehicle, according to police officials.
The incident took place at a time when the country is still hosting the SCO summit where several foreign delegates attended the event, including foreign minister S Jaishankar and China’s Li Qiang.
The attack occurred in the rugged district of Buner, specifically in the Kankoi Mandnar area, where militants targeted a mobile police van, PTI news agency reported.
Among the injured was a sub-inspector who suffered severe wounds.
Following the incident, a significant number of police personnel arrived at the location, securing the perimeter while conducting a thorough search operation.
This attack follows a recent assault by terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) on police lines in the province's Bannu district just two days prior. The earlier incident resulted in intense armed confrontations, claiming the lives of four police officers.
