Two civilians were killed and 17 others were injured in the explosion,” he added.\n\nAccording to police, the injured were shifted to a hospital in Miranshah, where an emergency has been declared. Four of the wounded are reported to be in critical condition.\n\nPolice said security forces have cordoned off the area and launched search operations in the surrounding locality. “The amount of explosives used is yet to be determined,” officials added.\n\nThe injured have been identified as Irshad, Asmat, Abuzar, Fida, Mohsin, Zarmani, Qismat, Hameeda, Zikra, Tufail, Noor, Inam, Muhammad, Nazir, Ahmed, Kifayat, Ahmed and Naik.\n\nThe banned militant outfit Hafiz Gul Bahadur group’s faction, Usood Al Khorasan, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the bomber belonged to its Al-Hamid suicide unit.\n\nAccording to security sources, militants linked to what authorities describe as Fitna al-Khawarij carried out the attack in an attempt to spread fear and panic among the tribal population after facing setbacks across the border in Afghanistan.\n\nThe attacker targeted a civilian area, which security officials said demonstrated that such elements were “enemies of both Islam and humanity.”\n\n“To take revenge for their humiliating defeat, the terrorists are now targeting innocent civilians,” a source added.\n\nSohail Afridi, KP Chief Minister, condemned the attack and sought a report from the Police Inspector General over the incident. “Such cowardly acts of terrorism cannot weaken the resolve of the government and the public,” he said.\n\nHe also directed the authorities to ensure the best possible medical care for the injured, with all medical staff at District Headquarters Hospital Miranshah and Rescue 1122 Pakistan placed on high alert.",
