A suicide bombing killed three Pakistani paramilitary personnel on Monday, November 24, at the border force headquarters in Peshawar city, police told Agence France-Presse (AFP). "Three FC (Federal Constabulary) personnel deployed at the gate were martyred and four others were wounded," said Peshawar police chief Mian Saeed, adding two other attackers were shot dead by the security forces.
The attackers struck at 8:10 am on the premises located on Saddar Road, one of the city's busiest routes, just before rush hour. An AFP reporter saw body parts of a suspected bomber lying outside the main gate, which was riddled with shrapnel holes.
"The attack has concluded, and a clearance operation is under way to determine whether any unexploded ordnance is present," Zulfiqar Hameed, the police chief of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, told AFP.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. The province borders Afghanistan and has long been a flashpoint for militant violence, which has intensified since the Taliban returned to power in Kabul in 2021.
