Twelve civilians, including three children, were killed and dozens wounded when a pro-Taliban group detonated two car bombs at a military barracks in northwestern Pakistan.
AFP reported that the attack took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, adding that the blasts caused the roof of a mosque to collapse.

The Taliban-affiliated Jaish al-Fursan group claimed responsibility for the attack.

The attack comes days after a suicide bombing at the Darul Uloom Haqqaniya in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa killed six people, including the director of the institution, which was attended by some of Pakistan’s most prominent Taliban leaders.
