Pakistan Faces Multiple Terror Attacks: 12 Killed in Islamabad, Wana and D.I. Khan Targeted

Pakistan witnessed a series of terror attacks on Tuesday, leaving multiple casualties and triggering large-scale security operations in several regions, including the federal capital, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and South Waziristan.

Islamabad Suicide Blast: 12 Dead, 36 Injured

At least 12 people were killed and 36 injured in a suicide explosion outside the District and Sessions Court in Islamabad’s G-11 area. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi confirmed the blast occurred at 12:39 pm, targeting a police vehicle after the attacker failed to enter the court. CCTV footage showed the bomber scouting the area before detonating. The injured were rushed to PIMS, where 18 were discharged, 14 admitted, and others receiving emergency treatment.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack, accusing Indian-backed elements and Afghan-based militants, calling it “Indian state terrorism” and asserting that perpetrators will face justice. President Asif Ali Zardari, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, and Information Minister Attaullah Tarar also condemned the blast. Security has been heightened in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, including restrictions on vehicle entry without e-tags.

Eyewitnesses reported panic and chaos, with multiple cars damaged and casualties outside the court complex. The legal fraternity, including the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), demanded immediate action and enhanced protection for lawyers and citizens.

International condemnation came from the US, EU, UK, and China, all expressing condolences and supporting Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts.

Wana Cadet College Attack: All Students Rescued

Meanwhile, in South Waziristan, security forces conducted a clearance operation at Cadet College Wana after terrorists attacked the facility with explosives. Over 350 students and staff were evacuated safely, though around 300 individuals were initially reported still inside the compound.

The operation targeted three militants identified as Afghan nationals, reportedly communicating with handlers across the border. Interior Minister Naqvi emphasized Afghanistan’s role in the attack and urged local citizens to support Pakistani forces in countering these threats. The military confirmed that two terrorists were killed after ramming an explosives-laden vehicle into the college gate. The operation will continue until the last terrorist is neutralized.

Officials described the attackers as part of Fitna al-Khawarij, a TTP-affiliated group, attempting to replicate the 2014 Army Public School Peshawar attack, which claimed 147 lives. Security forces stressed that the operation prioritizes the cadets’ safety while dismantling the militants.

D.I. Khan Bombing and Bannu Police Station Attack

In Dera Ismail Khan, at least 14 security personnel were injured when a remotely controlled IED targeted a convoy in Daraban Tehsil. Three of the personnel are in critical condition. A large contingent of police and military personnel cordoned off the area and launched a search operation.

Separately, in Bannu, KP Police successfully foiled a late-night attack on the Ahmadzai Police Station. Officers responded swiftly, killing or injuring multiple attackers. KP Inspector General Zufiqar Hameed praised the team, announcing rewards and certificates of appreciation. Security footage revealed multiple weapons, including hand grenades, at the site.

Recent Counterterrorism Developments

Security forces had recently killed 20 terrorists in separate intelligence-based operations in KP (North Waziristan and Dara Adam Khel) and four in Kalat, Balochistan. Terror activities have increased following the TTP’s cessation of its ceasefire with the government in November 2022, targeting security personnel and law enforcement agencies.

Nationwide Security Measures

Following these attacks, heightened security alerts have been issued across major cities. Law enforcement agencies, the Pakistan Army, and Rangers are coordinating to prevent further incidents. Officials stressed that terrorism has no religion, and perpetrators, whether local or foreign, will face consequences.
