An explosion at the Kohat Police Lines in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province killed at least 21 people, including 15 police officials. More than 80 others were injured in the blast, which reportedly involved an explosives-laden vehicle detonating near a mosque. The incident was followed by further exchanges of fire.
The attack underscores the persistent security challenges in the region, particularly in areas bordering Afghanistan.
