Pakistani Taliban militants have claimed responsibility for a series of deadly attacks in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, bordering Afghanistan. The attacks, which occurred on Friday, resulted in the deaths of 20 security officers and three civilians.
According to reports, the attacks were carried out in several districts, including a suicide bombing at a police training school in Dera Ismail Khan district. The Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attacks through social media messages.
The attacks came hours after the Afghan Taliban government accused Pakistan of "violating Kabul's sovereign territory", a day after two explosions were heard in the capital. Pakistan has denied any involvement in the Kabul blasts, but has asserted its right to defend itself against surging border militancy.
The TTP has been responsible for most of the violence in the region, largely targeting security forces.
