A suicide bombing in Khyber has resulted in a death toll of four, with three police officers succumbing to their injuries. Eight other policemen were injured in the attack, which was carried out by two terrorists who entered a compound from both the main and rear gates, police said. A rescue and search operation is currently underway, with the bomb disposal squad and CTD teams present at the crime scene. In a separate incident in the Regi area of Peshawar, two cops were killed and two others injured in a firing incident by unidentified armed men. These attacks come amidst a surge in terrorist activities in Pakistan, as indicated by a report from the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), which shows a 79% increase in terror activities during the first half of 2023, following the Afghan Taliban's return to power.
