At least 31 people were killed and more than 100 injured in an attack on a police compound and nearby mosque in Pakistan, according to reports. The attack involved a vehicle loaded with explosives that rammed into the police facility, triggering a gunfight between militants and security forces. A four-year-old child was among the dead, as reported by the BBC. Sky News World and Deutsche Welle both confirmed the death toll reached at least 31, with the latter noting that several militants were still engaged in clashes with Pakistani security forces on Saturday. Al Jazeera English noted that the attack occurred in a northwestern city and was carried out by an armed group. The incident highlights the ongoing threat posed by militant activity in the region, particularly near the border with Afghanistan. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
