Suspected suicide bombing kills at least 14 in Pakistan

A suspected suicide bombing occurred on August 2, 2026, near a police station in the Swat district of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, killing at least 14 people, including five police officers and eight civilians, with the bomber likely being the 14th victim. The attack happened during a pro-police rally, though it is unclear if the gathering was the intended target. At least 18 others were injured. The Pakistani government attributes the rise in militancy to the Afghan Taliban, which denies these accusations. Authorities have begun an investigation into potential accomplices.
