A suicide car bombing in northwestern Pakistan's Bannu district has killed 12 security personnel. The attack, one of the deadliest in recent months, occurred at a security post and is believed to have been carried out by Islamist militants. The bomber detonated an explosive-laden vehicle, causing significant casualties among the troops stationed at the post. The region, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has seen a resurgence of militant activity in recent years. The military has vowed to respond to the attack with increased security measures.
