In a tragic incident in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, a police check post was targeted in a terrorist attack, resulting in the death of two officers and injury to another.

The attack unfolded on Wednesday in the Bannu district near the New Sabzi Mandi area, when assailants detonated explosives at the check post's main gate, allowing them to storm in and open fire.

The explosion not only resulted in casualties but also caused extensive damage to surrounding areas, including the collapse of an electricity transformer, cutting power supply. In response, security forces have cordoned off the site and initiated a manhunt for those responsible. No group has yet claimed responsibility for this brazen attack.
