Pakistan Elections: 9 killed as violence mars elections, mobile services suspended | Oneindia News
On Thursday, as Pakistan conducted its general election under heightened security measures, at least nine individuals, including two children, fell victim to militant attacks across the nation.
The Interior Ministry attributed the security escalation to the previous day's tragic events in Balochistan, where two explosions near electoral candidates' offices claimed the lives of 26 people.
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for these attacks.
The Bannu military cantonment in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, located over 330 km east of Islamabad, came under a severe attack early on Monday (July 15). The assault, reportedly led by several suicide bombers, resulted in a prolonged gunbattle with security forces. The militant group Jaish Fursan-e-Muhammad, a faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, claimed responsibility for the attack. According to Pakistani state media, the incident began when the assailants attempted to breach the cantonment’s security perimeter with an explosive-laden vehicle.

In a devastating attack on Friday, a Russian missile struck a nine-storey residential building in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, resulting in at least one confirmed death and 12 injuries, according to officials. The incident, which has caused significant destruction and panic, saw the collapse of four upper storeys of the building, leaving many trapped under the rubble. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko cautioned that the death toll is likely to rise as rescue efforts continue. The Interior Ministry later confirmed that the fire at the site had been extinguished, the remains of one individual had been discovered beneath the debris, and two people were still unaccounted for.

In a startling discovery, five large bombs were found concealed within the walls of the historic al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul, a relic of ISIL’s (ISIS’s) brutal reign over the region. This finding highlights the ongoing challenges faced in clearing explosives and rebuilding war-torn areas of Iraq.
The al-Nuri Mosque, renowned for its 12th-century leaning minaret, was devastated by ISIL in 2017 during the battle to liberate Mosul. The mosque has been a key focus of the United Nations cultural agency UNESCO’s restoration efforts since 2020. On Tuesday, UNESCO announced the discovery of five large-scale explosive devices hidden inside the southern wall of the Prayer Hall.
