Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's provincial Minister for Health, Khaleeq ur Rehman, condemned a suicide attack on the Aman Maila checkpost in Dera Ismail Khan on Saturday, which killed several people, and ordered hospitals in the area to declare a health emergency to treat the injured.
The minister directed medical facilities to ensure all necessary resources were made available for those wounded in the attack, and instructed officials to provide updates on the condition of casualties.
Dera Ismail Khan and surrounding areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have experienced repeated attacks on security checkpoints in recent years, part of a broader pattern of violence affecting the province's border regions.
Provincial authorities have not yet released a final count of the dead and injured, nor has any group claimed responsibility for the attack.
The health emergency order is intended to mobilize additional medical staff, equipment and supplies at hospitals receiving casualties from the checkpost attack.
