Suicide Blast Kills Police Officers in Peshawar

A suspected suicide bomber targeted a police patrol near the Chamkani cattle market in Peshawar, Pakistan, killing two police officers, including a sub-inspector, and injuring at least two to three others. The blast destroyed the lower body of the alleged attacker and has been described as a resurgence of suicide attacks against police in the city. Senior police officials, bomb disposal units, and counterterrorism teams responded, collecting evidence and sending forensic samples for analysis. No group has claimed responsibility, but suspicion centers on the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has escalated attacks on security forces recently. The incident comes amid a broader rise in militant violence across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Authorities have since heightened security and intensified counterterrorism operations in the region.
