Thursday, May 21Thursday, May 21On May 12, 2026, an explosion in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan, killed at least nine people and injured around 30 others. The blast occurred in the town of Sarai Naurang, located in Lakki Marwat district, when a bomb rigged to a rickshaw detonated in a market bazaar. The attack targeted civilians, causing significant casualties and damage .
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion has fallen on the Pakistani Taliban (Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, TTP), which has been active in the region. The TTP and other militant groups have grown more emboldened since the Afghan Taliban’s return to power in Kabul in 2021, contributing to increased violence in northwestern Pakistan .
The explosion adds to the ongoing instability in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province plagued by militant violence and conflict. Earlier reports indicated that the region has seen multiple deadly incidents, though the exact cause of this specific blast remains under investigation .
