Islamabad: Twelve people were killed and 27 others injured in a suicide bombing in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, just hours after a separate car-bomb attack in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) quoted Islamabad police as saying that a suicide attacker attempted to enter a court complex but failed.
The assailant then detonated his explosives near a police vehicle, killing 12 people and injuring 27 others, who were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Emergency response teams and security forces swiftly cordoned off the area, while authorities launched an investigation into the circumstances of the attack.
Meanwhile, the Pakistani Army said in a statement that militants attacked a military college in the town of Wana in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
One attacker detonated a car bomb at the main gate, while five others attempted to storm the facility. Army forces repelled the assault, killing two militants and surrounding the remaining three, the statement added.
On Monday, the Pakistani Army announced it had killed 20 militants in two separate security operations in the country's northwest, as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle armed groups operating in mountainous border regions that periodically target security forces and civilians.
