In Peshawar, Pakistan, on January 10, 2024, relatives and Pakistani security officials are attending the funeral of their comrades who were killed in an attack on a police checkpoint in Kohat, Pakistan. Three police officers and a civilian were killed in a late-night attack on a police check post near the Lachi Toll Plaza on the Indus Highway in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Kohat district. This incident is following a recent attack on police personnel in KP, leading to an increased focus on security measures. Pakistan is currently experiencing a surge in terror activities, particularly in KP and Balochistan, resulting in a record six-year high in violence-related fatalities and injuries, according to a report by the Centre for Research and Security Studies.
