Pakistani forces killed 10 militants who attacked a military base in Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, resulting in the deaths of eight soldiers. The 18-hour operation ended with all attackers neutralized. A splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban, led by Gul Bahadur, claimed responsibility. The suicide attack involved an explosive-laden vehicle that damaged infrastructure. In a separate incident, militants killed five civilians at a health facility in Dera Ismail Khan. Security forces killed three attackers but lost two soldiers. Pakistan continues to face a surge in militant attacks, mainly blamed on the Pakistani Taliban.
