Meanwhile, local police officials have announced that the number of victims from the suicide bombing and shooting by armed assailants in Kohat has reached at least 31 killed and more than 100 wounded. According to these officials, at least 16 of the deceased were police personnel.


The attack occurred at noon on Friday, coinciding with Friday prayers. Based on published reports, the assailants drove a vehicle packed with explosives toward a mosque in the old Police Lines complex in Kohat city and carried out the assault. The resulting explosion caused severe damage to the mosque building.


The Police Lines complex, where this mosque is located, is not solely a place of worship; it also houses the city's central police office, the counterterrorism department, and a special branch. The Hafiz Gul Bahadur group has claimed responsibility for this attack, and Pakistani officials have simultaneously emphasized their continued resolute fight against terrorist groups.


This incident occurred amid ongoing tensions, as Islamabad consistently attributes the increase in attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces to militants who, according to Pakistan's claims, are organized from Afghan soil. The Taliban rejects this claim.



The Taliban Foreign Ministry, on Saturday, 28 Saure (September), issued a statement strongly condemning the attack on a mosque in the city of Kohat, Pakistan. The ministry, without describing the incident as "terrorist," called the attack on sacred sites an "unjustifiable and condemnable act."
