16 Soldiers Killed in Attack on Pakistani Army Convoy

The organisation Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Pakistan frequently targets the Pakistani army and police. With support from the Taliban in Afghanistan, the TTP has spread terror in Pakistan. In the ongoing conflict between the TTP and the army, both sides do not miss any opportunity to attack each other. Now, once again, the TTP has inflicted a deep wound by attacking the Pakistani army.

Another incident of TTP attacking the Pakistani army has come to light. In the Bannu district of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the TTP ambushed a Pakistani army convoy on Sunday night. At the time of the attack, the Pakistani army convoy was moving towards the Azad Mandi market in the Momand Khel town of Bannu district. The Pakistani soldiers were surprised by the sudden attack, as they did not expect it.
