Suicide attack on Pakistan checkpost kills 15

A suicide attack on a joint checkpost in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Tank district killed 15 people, including 12 soldiers, two policemen, and a forest department official. The attackers rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the perimeter wall, severely damaging the facility. Security forces killed 12 militants in the ensuing engagement. No group claimed responsibility, but the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is active in the region. The attack underscores persistent militancy and cross-border tensions with Afghanistan.
