At least two people were killed while one suffered injuries in a blast near the Board Bazaar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Peshawar early Sunday morning, officials said.<\/p>\n

Rescue 1122 Spokesperson Bilal Faizi confirmed the death toll and injuries to Dawn.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He said the bodies and wounded were moved to the Khyber Teaching Hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs per preliminary and unconfirmed reports, explosives were planted in a motorcycle parked in the area,\u201d the official said, adding that the blast site had been cordoned off.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media, Peshawar Senior Superintendent of Police (Operation) Kashif Aftab Abbasi said teams of the Counter Terrorism Department and other law enforcement agencies had arrived at the site and were collecting evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have found an almost mutilated body and a damaged motorcycle here,\u201d he said, adding that an investigation was underway to determine the nature of the blast.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur condemned the incident and sought a report from the provincial police chief, according to a statement released by the CM Office.<\/p>\n

Pakistan has witnessed an uptick in terror activities in the past year, especially in KP and Balochistan after the banned militant Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan ended its ceasefire<\/a> with the government in November 2022.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said 10 militants were killed<\/a> in two separate operations by security forces in the North Waziristan district. It added that Pakistan expected the Afghan government to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists.<\/p>\n

According to an annual security report<\/a> issued by the Centre for Research and Security Studies, Pakistan witnessed 1,524 violence-related fatalities and 1,463 injuries from 789 terror attacks and counter-terror operations in 2023 \u2014 marking a record six-year high.<\/p>\n

KP and Balochistan were the primary centres of violence, accounting for over 90 per cent of all fatalities and 84pc of attacks, including incidents of terrorism and security forces operations.<\/p>\n\n
