TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned a terrorist attack on a police station in northwest Pakistan that has killed dozens of people.
Offering sympathies to the families of the victims of this terrorist attack, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani conveyed the heartfelt condolences of Iran to the government, armed forces, and citizens of Pakistan.
On Tuesday, fighters stormed a military post in northwestern Pakistan, killing at least 23 people in a gun and suicide bomb attack.
The incident took place in the town of Daraban, about 60km from Dera Ismail Khan city, in the restive province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, located at the edge of the lawless tribal regions bordering Afghanistan.
The fighters rammed a vehicle laden with explosives into the main gate of the police station, followed by a suicide bombing attack.
Pakistani group Tehreek-e-Jihad Pakistan (TJP) said in a statement that its fighters carried out the attack aimed at the Pakistani army.
