LAKKI MARWAT: An IED blast, that was carried out by militants, in the Serai Naurang area here on Tuesday (12th May, 2026) claimed 10 lives and injured 33 others.
According to details two of the deceased were traffic cops, identified as Adil Jan and Rahatullah. The IED was planted in a rickshaw parked in a crowded market. No militant outfit claimed responsibility for the blast.
Militants have constantly been attacking members of LEAs as well as civilians, both in KP and Balochistan. For instance Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen has claimed responsibility of a suicide attack on a checkpoint that killed 15 Police Constables in Bannu on 9th May, 2026.
According to details the suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the batiment, transforming it into chips. Following the blast, militants of Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen (who were equipped with quadcopters) opened fire at the chowki from all directions.
At the time of attack the chowki harboured eighteen constables. The rescue personnel dragged three wounded cops from under the rubble and transported them to a nearby medical facility.
