A tragic accident occurred in southwest Pakistan early Wednesday when a speeding passenger bus fell from a highway into a rocky ravine, resulting in the deaths of at least 28 people and leaving 20 others injured.
Local authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, while rescue efforts continue.
This heartbreaking incident underscores the urgent need for improved road safety measures in the region.
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.
