# A car bombing at a police post in northwestern Pakistan followed by an ambush on police personnel rushing to the scene to provide backup has killed at least 12 officers. The structure was reduced to rubble, with bricks, charred wreckage, and mangled vehicles scattered around the area. The police said three personnel were found alive and rushed to hospital. Militants first rammed into the post with an explosive-filled car, entered the premises and began firing on any remaining officers, while drones were also used. The militant alliance Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attack.
