Story summary

As of November 11, 2026, at least 10 police personnel, including two senior officers, were killed in a militant attack in the Kohat district of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Local police official Faisal Khan confirmed that militants targeted vehicles carrying police officers, leading to an exchange of gunfire between attackers and security forces that was still ongoing at the time of reporting. While no militant organization has officially claimed responsibility for the attack, suspicion points towards the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), given their history of intensified attacks on security forces in recent months. Pakistan has seen a surge in militant violence attributed to the TTP since 2021 when the Afghan Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, which Islamabad accuses of harboring TTP fighters.
