Dozens of Pakistan soldiers and three civilians were killed after a deadly suicide bombing on a military convoy in northwest Pakistan, according to the Pakistan military.
The military's media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said the attack occurred in North Waziristan, a tribal district bordering Afghanistan at the weekend.
According to the statement, a vehicle-borne suicide attacker initially targeted the convoy but was intercepted. However, a second explosive-laden vehicle managed to ram into one of the military vehicles, resulting in the fatalities.
Pakistan officials say they killed 14 armed fighters during a security operation following the attack.
North Waziristan has long been a stronghold for armed groups, despite repeated military campaigns aimed at clearing the area, according to Pakistan authorities.
The government says the attack underscores the persistent security challenges faced by Pakistan’s armed forces in the tribal belt, where groups linked to the Taliban and other extremist factions operate.
The military added that operations are ongoing to eliminate any remaining threat in the region. The army said it's committed to eradicating terrorism from the country, stating that "such cowardly acts cannot deter the resolve of security forces in ensuring peace and stability."
