Bombing targeting police vehicle on roadside in Peshawar

Pakistani security officials are inspecting the scene of an explosion targeting a police vehicle in Peshawar, Pakistan, on August 07, 2024. Superintendent of Police Warsak Division Muhammad Arshad Khan says the Machnigate Police Station's vehicle is on routine patrol when an improvised explosive device (IED) explodes on Peshawar's Warsak road, leaving no casualties. The rise in insurgent attacks, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, is being linked to the Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan, with Pakistan accusing the Afghan government of harboring militant groups.
