At least 31 people, including 16 police personnel, were killed in an explosion and gun attack on a police headquarters in Kohat, northern Pakistan, according to a senior police official cited by AFP.
Attackers stormed the Old Police Lines complex on Friday, triggering clashes that were still ongoing. Electricity workers repaired damaged power lines while security personnel patrolled the site, where explosions damaged buildings and left rubble across the area.
The local militant group Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen Pakistan, a faction linked to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, claimed responsibility for the attack.
