ALBAWABA - A bombing attack hit a military base in Pakistan, leaving at least 12 people killed and about 30 others injured on Tuesday, local authorities reported. At least seven children were among those killed, a hospital list showed.
The bombing targeted a military site in the northwestern border province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, police and a hospital official confirmed.
Jaish al-Fursan, a group affiliated with the Pakistan Taliban, claimed responsibility for the bombing on the military base in Pakistan.
Al Jazeera confirmed that this is the third assault in Pakistan since the start of the holy month of Ramadan. In a statement, the group revealed the source of the blasts were explosive-laden vehicles.
Two attackers rammed two explosive-laden vehicles into the wall of the compound in Bannu and other attackers stormed the site before being repelled, a security official told The Associated Press (AP).
