According to The Express Tribune, the province of KP has seen a recent surge in terror attacks. In one of the worst terror attacks on army troops in years, six terrorists attacked a security forces check post in the Daraban area of DI Khan earlier this week on Tuesday.

“The attempt to enter the post was effectively thwarted which forced the terrorists to ram an explosive-laden vehicle into the post, followed by a suicide bombing attack,” said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

“The resulting blasts led to the collapse of the building, causing multiple casualties; 23 brave soldiers embraced shahadat, while all six terrorists were effectively engaged and sent to hell,” the ISPR added.
