2 Killed In 2 Separate Explosions In Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province

<p>Peshawar, Jun 1 (PTI) At least two people were killed in two separate explosions in Pakistan&rsquo;s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday, officials said.</p>
<p>A blast took place at a tube well near a house in Kohat district&rsquo;s Darra Adam Khel town, about 35 kilometres southwest of Peshawar, killing two people, a rescue official said.</p>
<p>Rescue, medical and disaster management teams reached the scene after receiving information about the incident.</p>
<p>The house was completely destroyed in the explosion, the official said.</p>
<p>In another incident, unidentified attackers planted an improvised explosive device (IED) in an under-construction building in Bannu district, another rescue official said.</p>
<p>The explosion which heavily damaged the building belonging to the Rescue 1122 emergency services occurred after midnight, the official said.</p>
<p>However, no casualties were reported in the incident, the official said.</p>
<p>Bannu region police spokesperson Khanzala Quraishi said a police team responded promptly and launched a probe.</p>
<p>This is the second attack on a Rescue 1122 building in the last three months.</p>
<p>In April, a rescue department building was damaged in an explosion in Tank district.</p>
<p>Pakistan has witnessed a surge in terrorist incidents, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces, following the collapse of the ceasefire agreement between the government and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan in November 2022.</p>
<p>Militant attacks and counter-terrorism operations surged in March 2025, with the number of terrorist incidents crossing 100 for the first time since November 2014, a Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies report said.</p>
<p>Pakistan ranked second on the Global Terrorism Index 2025, with terror-related deaths rising by 45 per cent over the past year to 1,081.&nbsp;</p>
