At least three people have been killed following a coordinated assault by gunmen and suicide bombers on a paramilitary force headquarters in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar.
Details of the Assault
The attack on the frontier constabulary paramilitary force headquarters occurred on Monday 24 November 2025. According to reports from Reuters, the complex was targeted by two suicide bombers. A Pakistani official stated that the first assailant detonated their explosives at the main entrance, while a second bomber managed to breach the compound.
Security Response and Ongoing Situation
In the immediate aftermath, the army and police swiftly cordoned off the entire area. A local resident, Safdar Khan, confirmed that the road was closed to traffic and secured by a heavy presence of army, police, and other security personnel. Law enforcement authorities suspect that some militants may still be inside the headquarters building, prompting a continued security operation.
The location of the attack adds a layer of complexity, as the headquarters is situated in a crowded part of Peshawar, near a sensitive military cantonment. This incident underscores the persistent security challenges faced in the region.
