A suicide attacker drives an explosives-laden vehicle into a police facility in Kohat, in northwest Pakistan, killing at least 16 people and injuring 57 others, police officials say. The attack occurs on Friday as officers and their families are praying in a mosque inside the compound.
Police chief Zulfikar Hameed says five police officers are among the dead. The attacker’s car hits the outer wall of the facility, and gunmen who accompany the vehicle then open fire. Responders work at the scene as authorities investigate the attack and the attackers’ routes and affiliations.
Reporting across outlets aligns on the core details: the location in Kohat, the timing during prayers, the use of a vehicle-borne explosives attack, and the casualty figures. The sources provided do not dispute the main facts, focusing primarily on official statements about the number of victims and the sequence of events following the impact.
