Attack on Rescue Team in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Kills Two
Pakistani media, citing sources, reported that an attack on a rescue team in Tank district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province killed two people and wounded five others.
The assault began with an explosion followed by gunfire, according to the reports. It occurred as the rescue team was transporting individuals injured in a quadcopter drone strike on a watch post in the Tank area. The media outlets did not specify the drone's purpose or the reason for the strike.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the affiliation of the armed assailants remains unidentified.
The incident comes amid a recent increase in attacks by Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, which has carried out the majority of assaults on Pakistani security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Pakistani officials have previously accused the Taliban in Afghanistan of supporting and sheltering TTP members, a charge the Taliban have denied.
