"Deadly Suicide Bombing Targets Pakistan Army Base Near Afghan Border"

A suicide truck bomb and gun attack on a Pakistani army base near the Afghan border killed at least seven soldiers and wounded many more, with militants linked to the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan claiming responsibility. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the raid as a "cowardly action of terrorists," and the military engaged and killed all assailants in an intense exchange of fire. The attack comes amid concerns over the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan, with Pakistani officials and recent United Nations reports disputing Taliban claims that they do not allow Afghan soil to be used by militant organizations.
