Authorities have confirmed key details regarding the recent suicide attack on the Frontier Corps (FC) headquarters in Peshawar. Investigators revealed that all three Peshawar FC HQ suicide attackers identified as Afghan nationals, highlighting growing security concerns along the border region.
The attack, which occurred earlier this week, involved multiple suicide bombers who targeted the facility during peak hours. Security forces swiftly responded, preventing even greater casualties. Officials stated that the attackers used high-grade explosives and attempted to breach the compound’s outer security layers.
According to preliminary findings, all three Peshawar FC HQ suicide attackers identified as Afghan nationals, based on forensic evidence, communication records, and identification documents recovered after the explosion. Authorities believe the militants were trained across the border and entered Pakistan illegally.
Security agencies are now focusing on tracking down facilitators who may have helped the attackers. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage, mobile data, and witness accounts to determine how the militants traveled to Peshawar and who provided logistical support.
Officials emphasized that the attack was carefully planned. Intelligence reports suggest links between the suicide bombers and an Afghanistan-based militant network. The confirmation that all three Peshawar FC HQ suicide attackers identified as Afghan nationals has prompted Pakistan to raise the issue with relevant authorities.
Government representatives condemned the attack and praised the swift action of FC personnel. They stated that Pakistan remains committed to combating terrorism and strengthening border security to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Experts noted that the incident underscores the need for deeper regional cooperation on counterterrorism. They stressed that cross-border militant activity poses a significant challenge and requires joint action to address effectively.
Security has been heightened in Peshawar and surrounding areas. Authorities urged the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity as investigations continue.
