Gunmen attacked a paramilitary force headquarters in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar today, police say.
The complex, the headquarters of the frontier constabulary paramilitary force, is also hit by two suicide bombers, sources tell Reuters, adding that three people have been killed.
“The first suicide bomber first carried out an attack on the main entrance of the constabulary and the other one entered the compound,” a senior official tells Reuters on condition of anonymity.
“Law enforcement personnel, including the army and police, have cordoned off the area and are carefully handling the situation as we suspect there are some terrorists inside the headquarters,” the official adds.
The headquarters of the force is located in a crowded area, close to a military cantonment.
“The road has been closed for traffic and cordoned off by the army, police and (security) personnel,” Safdar Khan, a resident of the area, tells Reuters.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
