A suicide bomber drove an explosives‑laden vehicle into a Pakistani Army convoy in North Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on June 28, killing 13 soldiers and wounding 10 military personnel plus 19 civilians, according to an anonymous government official. The blast also destroyed nearby homes, collapsing two roofs and injuring six children. No group has claimed responsibility yet, but the region has a history of Tehrik‑i‑Taliban Pakistan (TTP) activity. The attack follows a marked surge in militant strikes across northwest Pakistan, where terrorism‑related deaths rose 45% in 2024, making it the second-highest globally per the Global Terrorism Index.
