Raja Pervez Ashraf, a former prime minister of Pakistan and the Pakistan Peoples Party's Punjab president, condemned a terrorist attack on the Aman Mela check-post in Dera Ismail Khan on Saturday, calling it a cowardly act against innocent civilians.
The assault on the checkpost claimed 12 lives, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan, which first reported Ashraf's statement. Details on the attackers and the circumstances of the assault were not immediately available.
Ashraf offered condolences to the families of those killed and called for continued vigilance against militant violence in the region. Dera Ismail Khan, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has been the site of repeated attacks in recent years targeting security personnel and civilians alike.
Pakistani political and security officials have frequently condemned such attacks and pledged to pursue those responsible, though authorities did not immediately announce arrests or an investigation timeline in connection with this incident.
