Attack on police post in Bannu planned in Afghanistan, says Pakistan Foreign Office

Pakistan's Foreign Office has stated that the recent attack on a police post in Bannu, which resulted in the martyrdom of 15 police personnel and injured four, was planned by terrorists based in Afghanistan. This incident, occurring on May 9, has raised significant concerns about regional security and cross-border militant activity. Investigations indicate the attack was coordinated from Afghan territory, prompting Pakistan to summon the Afghan chargé d’affaires and issue a strong protest. Pakistan highlighted the use of Afghan soil for terrorist activities and reserved the right to take decisive action in response to such threats, citing international reports on terrorist group presence in Afghanistan.
