NU.nl26 September · 19:011 hour ago

An explosion in Dera Ismail Khan, a city in northwestern Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, killed eleven people and injured thirty on Saturday. The Pakistani branch of the Taliban (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack. Rescue teams provided medical assistance and transported the wounded to hospitals. This incident follows targeted airstrikes by Afghanistan earlier in the week that killed four people. Tensions have recently escalated after months of relative calm, with Pakistan accusing the TTP of orchestrating recent attacks. The TTP is linked to the Taliban currently in power in Afghanistan.
