At Least 10 Police Officers Killed in Pakistan Ambush
At least 10 police officers, including two senior officials, were killed on Wednesday when militants ambushed a police convoy in Kohat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwestern Pakistan.
An intense exchange of fire between security forces and the attackers was ongoing following the ambush, local police official Faisal Khan said.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. However, suspicion fell on the Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has intensified attacks against security forces in the region bordering Afghanistan.
Pakistan has experienced a surge in militant violence in recent years, largely attributed to the TTP, an organisation separate from but closely allied with the Afghan Taliban, who returned to power in 2021.
Islamabad frequently accuses Afghanistan's Taliban government of providing safe havens to TTP militants, an allegation Kabul denies.
