Around 10 Pakistani police personnel are feared killed after militants ambushed a police convoy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Kohat district on Wednesday. The attack occurred in the Gumbat area as officers travelled towards an illegal gold mining site during an operation against unlawful mining. Initial casualty estimates ranged from eight to 11 deaths, with at least 12 injured personnel taken to hospital. Pakistani authorities suspect members of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), referred to officially as 'Fitna al Khawarij', were behind the assault. An exchange of fire continued as reinforcements arrived. No independent claim of responsibility had emerged, while Governor Faisal Karim Kundi condemned the attack. (PC: AFP)
