At least 12 citizens, including seven children, were killed when two suicide bombers threw two explosive-filled vehicles into a security setup in northwest Pakistan on Tuesday ( Mar 4), according to police and recovery service.

After the explosion, more militants attempted to enter the military complex, according to the standard, but security forces thwarted the effort. According to the national, six militants were killed by firing.
According to Muhammad Nauman, a spokeswoman for Bannu Hospital, 30 people were hurt and 12 were killed in the attack, adding that the victims were all citizens who had fallen from walls and houses. According to a doctor record, at least seven babies were listed as among those killed.
The neighborhood Rescue 1122 company announced that it was looking for more victims hidden beneath the rubble of the crumbling structures.

Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, blasted the strike and said that the “evil interests of the foes of Pakistan will never be allowed to succeed.”
