After Hangu Bombing and Peshawar CTD Blast, Pakistan Expands Raids in KP and Balochistan and Warns Kabul on Truce

Officials attribute the Peshawar blast to stored explosives rather than a terrorist attack.

Overview

  • Three officers, including SHO Imranuddin, were injured when an IED hit a police convoy in Hangu’s Doaba area, triggering a firefight and follow‑on search operations.
  • One CTD officer was killed and two injured in a powerful explosion at a Peshawar CTD station that officials say likely originated in an armoury holding old munitions, with detainees evacuated and forensic teams and the Bomb Disposal Unit on site.
  • Security forces said five police personnel were injured when attackers opened fire on the North Waziristan DPO’s convoy near Bannu, with a cordon and search under way after the assailants fled.
  • ISPR reported three militants killed in North Waziristan and Tank, identifying two as Afghan nationals, and separately said four terrorists were killed in an intelligence‑based operation in Balochistan’s Kalat district.
  • Pakistan’s military spokesperson warned that any cross‑border attack from Afghanistan would nullify the ceasefire, urging Kabul to act against militants operating from its soil.
