Earlier this month, a violent confrontation in the Tank district resulted in the deaths of a paramilitary soldier and 12 militants during a gunbattle. This clash followed a suicide attack targeting the Frontier Constabulary (FC) headquarters, according to a police official familiar with the situation. The incident occurred in the Jandola tehsil.
While no group has officially claimed responsibility for the assault, authorities believe that the Pakistani Taliban may be behind the attack.
