In an assault on a police station in north-west Pakistan, at least 10 police officers were killed.
Violence has increased this week in advance of the nation’s public elections.
According to police in the Draban region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the attack was launched at around 3:00 local time on Monday ( 22:00 GMT Sunday ). It began with sniper fire and was followed by grenades.
Over two and a half hours passed during the flames transfer, which also injured nine other people.
Although the perpetrator of the harm is still unknown, the Pakistan Taliban, Islamic State, and other violent organizations have been attacking civilians as well as targets of government and security in the area for decades.
A national council member was killed by gunfire next Wednesday in another area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
A democratic president was also shot and killed last week in Balochistan, a county in Pakistan’s south-west, in the election department of his party, and at least four people were killed in bombings that occurred after an election march. That invasion was attributed to the Islamic State.
In an anti-terrorist activity in Balochistan last week, the army also killed 24 militants.
The 90,675 voting places in Pakistan have been divided into two categories by the Election Commission:” sensitive,” meaning there is a risk of violence, and “most sensitive,” denoting an increased risk. The groupings are based on the history of political violence and the security situation in the area.
