Gunmen kill two Pakistani police officers assigned to protect polio vaccination workers in northwest Pakistan, according to officials. The deaths occur in two separate attacks, with officers shot while carrying out security duties for teams carrying out polio vaccinations. In each incident, attackers fire on the officers, who are later confirmed dead. The reports describe the killings as attacks targeted at police protecting vaccination efforts rather than on the health workers themselves. Officials condemn the violence and treat the incidents as serious threats to the country’s immunisation campaign. Security personnel are deployed and investigations are underway to identify those responsible and determine how the attackers carried out the assaults. The killings add to wider concerns about violence affecting public health operations in the region, where vaccination teams have previously faced threats and attacks. No group is named in the summaries provided. Authorities continue to coordinate security for polio vaccination activities in the aftermath of the incidents.
