In Pakistan, a car explosion at a police checkpoint killed 11 people and wounded 30. For the attack claimed responsibility banned in Russia group “Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan”
In the northwestern part of Pakistan, the city of Dera Ismail Khan, an explosion occurred, killing 11 people and injuring 30 others. This is reported by Reuters with reference to the emergency services.
Rescuers are working at the scene.
According to the Associated Press, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive vehicle at a police checkpoint.
The radical Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP; recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia) claimed responsibility for the attack.
Last week in northwestern Pakistan, a suicide bomber drove a car bomb into a police station. Police and their families were praying inside the mosque. The attack killed 16 people and injured 57.
On September 24, the Afghan side said that the Pakistani military struck a desert area in Kandahar, the second largest city in Afghanistan in the south of the country.
Dera Ismail Khan is a border region along the Durand Line, a loosely marked border with Afghanistan. Kabul does not recognize it as a border.
The area, part of the former Tribal Zone, was previously largely controlled by the Taliban.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have been in a border dispute since 1947, when the latter gained independence after the partition of British India. Kabul does not recognize the Durand Line as the border between the two countries, and Pakistan accuses Kabul of harboring the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan group. Islamabad believes that the terrorist movement intends to overthrow the government of Pakistan.
