Summary
A suicide car bomb tore through a police compound in Kohat, Pakistan, killing 16—including five officers—and wounding 57 during Friday prayers. Attackers breached the mosque’s outer wall, sparking a gunfight that killed all seven assailants. Though no group has claimed responsibility, militant activity is surging in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as Islamist factions target the central government. The interior ministry called it a cowardly act, while rescue teams pulled survivors from rubble amid images of devastation. Islamabad blames Afghanistan for harboring militants—a claim Kabul denies, insisting militancy is Pakistan’s internal problem.
