In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, an attack on a polio vaccination team left a polio worker and a policeman dead, while a separate incident involving a roadside bomb injured six police officers and three civilians. The violence occurred amidst a nationwide polio vaccination campaign targeting 30 million children, launched earlier this week by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Despite enhanced security measures, anti-polio campaigns in Pakistan are frequently disrupted by militant attacks, often based on false claims that vaccinations are part of a Western conspiracy. Pakistan remains one of the last two polio-endemic countries, alongside Afghanistan, and has reported 17 cases this year, raising concerns over public health efforts. In response to the violence, polio vaccination efforts have been temporarily halted in the affected areas. Authorities are conducting searches to apprehend the perpetrators of these attacks.
