Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan – June 29, 2025
A powerful suicide blast rocked Pakistan’s volatile Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Saturday, claiming the lives of 13 soldiers and injuring 29 others, including 10 military personnel and several civilians. The attack targeted a convoy of the Pakistani Army, highlighting once again the fragile security situation in the region.
Blast Causes Widespread Destruction
The explosion occurred in a densely populated area, with local police confirming that the blast’s intensity was severe enough to collapse the roofs of nearby homes. Among the injured were six children from two of the affected houses, underscoring the indiscriminate nature of the attack.
Authorities stated that many of the injured soldiers are in critical condition, raising concerns that the death toll could rise further.
No Claim of Responsibility Yet
So far, no group has officially claimed responsibility for the attack. However, security sources suspect the involvement of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or an affiliated militant faction, based on the modus operandi and the region’s history of insurgent activity.
Security Forces on High Alert
Following the explosion, Pakistan’s Army and local security forces launched a large-scale search operation in and around the blast site. The injured were swiftly moved to nearby military and civilian hospitals, where emergency services are working round-the-clock.
Terror-Related Fatalities Rising in Pakistan
The suicide bombing comes amid a sharp increase in terror-related violence in Pakistan. According to the Global Terrorism Index 2025, the country witnessed 1,081 terror-related deaths in 2024, compared to 748 in 2023 — a 44% increase year-over-year.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remains one of the hardest-hit regions, often targeted due to its proximity to the Afghan border and the presence of militant strongholds.
Government Response Awaited
As of now, there has been no official statement from the Pakistan Army or the federal government, though condemnation is expected. Security analysts believe that this attack could prompt a major counter-insurgency response and renewed discussions around national security and counterterrorism strategies.
