At least 11 people have been killed and 30 others injured in a blast in Dera Ismail Khan in northwestern Pakistan. The explosion struck the Darazinda area near Aman Mela, according to emergency officials.
Rescue teams quickly reached the scene and began relief operations. The injured were provided medical assistance and taken to nearby hospitals for treatment as authorities responded to the attack.
The blast comes as security incidents continue to affect parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly areas close to Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan.
Dera Ismail Khan has faced repeated militant attacks in recent years, with police and security forces frequently among the targets.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, also known as the Pakistani Taliban, has claimed responsibility for Saturday’s attack.
Authorities are continuing to assess the scene and investigate the circumstances surrounding the explosion.
The latest incident adds to ongoing security challenges in northwestern Pakistan, where militant violence has remained a serious concern.
Officials have not provided further details about the victims or the full extent of the damage as the investigation continues.
