Suicide Bombers Kill Three At Pakistani Paramilitary Headquarters
by Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Chief International Correspondent
PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN (Worthy News) – At least three personnel were killed Monday when suicide bombers attacked the headquarters of a paramilitary government force in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar, officials said.
Police said the attack began when militants opened fire at the entrance of the Frontier Constabulary compound before detonating explosives at or inside the facility.
Video footage obtained by Worthy Mews confirmed those observations with security forces, some lying on the ground, struggling to regain control.
Authorities said two or three attackers were involved, adding that security personnel quickly cordoned off the area.
AREA SEALED AFTER ATTACK
Deputy Commandant Javed Iqbal confirmed that three members of the force were killed, while several others were wounded. He said operations were underway to secure the complex.
Hospital officials at Peshawar’s Lady Reading Hospital said at least five wounded people had been brought in for treatment, including members of the paramilitary force.
The compound is located in a densely populated area of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial capital, prompting authorities to block surrounding roads as security teams moved in.
NO CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
However, Pakistan has faced a surge in militant activity in recent months, particularly in regions bordering Afghanistan.
Islamabad has accused the Afghan Taliban of allowing groups involved in attacks inside Pakistan to operate from Afghan territory — a charge Afghan authorities deny.
ROLE OF FRONTIER CONSTABULARY
The targeted Frontier Constabulary (FC) is a federally controlled paramilitary government force under Pakistan’s Ministry of Interior.
It is distinct from the regular Pakistan Army and works alongside police and military units in security, counter-militancy, and law-enforcement operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The FC, which has roots in colonial-era frontier policing, remains a key security provider in Pakistan’s northwest.
