Pakistani Taliban Deny Involvement in Bomb Attack on Diplomat Convoy

A police officer was killed and four others injured in the blast targeting foreign diplomats in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The attack occurred in Malam Jabba, a tourist spot in the Swat Valley, while the convoy was en route to a local event.
No group has claimed responsibility for the improvised explosive device (IED) that struck the police escort vehicle.
All diplomats from countries including Russia, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan were unharmed and safely returned to Islamabad.
Authorities suspect a security breach as the convoy's route was known only to police and the bomb disposal unit had cleared the path.
The incident highlights rising violence in the region since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan in 2021.
