At least three terrorists were killed in a blast in Pakistan 's khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Friday.
Local police told Pakistani media outlet the Dawn that a suicide blast was followed by exchange of firing between two terrorists in Dera Ismail Khan.
“There are sounds of firing after a blast,” DI Khan Police Public Relations Officer Yaqoob Khan said.
"A suicide bomber and two terrorists killed so far. Operation ongoing," he added.
This comes days after the Pakistani air force conducted airstrikes in the region, killing 30 people, including women and children.
The Pakistani fighter jets JF-17 dropped eight LS-6 bombs on the Matre Dara village located in the Tirah Valley, causing a massacre. Disturbing pictures and videos of the incident site showed bodies, including children.
The Pakistani military and government are remained on this incident.
Pakistan has witnessed a surge in terrorist attacks, especially in KP and Balochistan, predominantly targeting the police, law enforcement agencies’ personnel, and security forces.
Attacks increased after the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan broke a ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022.
Recently, multiple areas of KP — including Bannu, Peshawar, Karak, Lakki Marwat and Bajaur — have seen a series of terrorist attacks, particularly targeting police personnel.
