A suicide bomber attempted to ram an explosives-laden vehicle into a police station in the Domel administrative subdivision of Bannu District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province late Thursday, triggering a powerful blast that caused significant damage to nearby homes, police spokesperson Asif Hassan told Anadolu over the phone.
“Five people, including three women, one child and one man, have been martyred so far,” Hassan said, adding that security forces fired on the car and killed the driver before he could reach the police compound, but the car exploded.
He added that five police officers and several civilians were injured in the attack.
The explosion damaged at least two houses, and the injured were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
