A devastating suicide bombing struck a Pakistan Army convoy in North Waziristan’s Khaddi village today, killing up to 16 soldiers and injuring more than 20 others, including civilians and children.
The attack occurred around midday when a vehicle packed with explosives rammed directly into the army convoy. The area was already under curfew due to rising security tensions, yet the bomber managed to breach perimeter checks, causing a massive explosion.
According to varying reports:
- AFP and local sources report 16 soldiers dead.
- The Associated Press claims 8 soldiers killed, 25 people injured, including civilians.
- PTI and regional media report 13 soldiers dead, with dozens critically wounded.
No group has officially claimed responsibility for the blast. However, officials suspect the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a militant group active in the region, may be involved.
Military operations are ongoing in North Waziristan, a tribal region long considered a hotspot for extremist activity. Today’s attack once again highlights the fragile security situation in Pakistan’s northwest.
