In a devastating incident on Tuesday, a suicide bombing near a truck carrying paramilitary forces in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar has left at least eight people wounded, according to police reports.
The explosion occurred on a busy road in Hayatabad, a suburb of Peshawar and the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which shares a border with Afghanistan. Tehreek-e-Jihad Pakistan, a newly formed armed group, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Just last week, the same group targeted a military base in the southwestern province of Balochistan, resulting in the death of four soldiers.
