Suicide Bombers Strike Peshawar Federal Constabulary HQ, Killing 3 Security Personnel

Officials describe a coordinated assault featuring near‑simultaneous blasts, followed by a failed bid to storm the compound.

Overview

  • Police said three suicide attackers tried to breach the Saddar‑area headquarters around 8:10–8:11am, with one detonating at the main gate and another blast reported near the motorcycle stand.
  • Security forces cordoned off the complex, engaged the assailants, and killed all three attackers during clearance operations led by FC personnel and police.
  • Three Federal Constabulary members were confirmed dead and at least five people, including civilians, were injured and taken to Lady Reading Hospital, where officials reported stable conditions.
  • Roads around the facility were closed, the city was placed on high alert, and search and evidence‑collection efforts continued as investigators assessed the scene.
  • No group has claimed responsibility, and officials noted the attack fits a broader resurgence of militant violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan that authorities link to cross‑border groups.
