At 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, a suicide assault occurred close to a checkpoint in the Bhakkar area of Pakistan. The explosion claimed the lives of two police officers and injured four more. For medical attention, every injured employee was sent to the District Headquarters Hospital.
According to local media sources, commuters and businesses experienced disruption when the suicide bomber detonated explosives near the checkpost near the bridge connecting Dera Ismail Khan with Punjab.While we were conducting a search operation in the region to preserve law and order, the suicide attacker approached the check post and blew himself up, Bhakkar District Police Officer (DPO) Shahzad Rafiq informed Dawn.

Before detonating the blast, the assailant in a black shawl is seen on CCTV moving quickly in the direction of the checkpoint. When the explosion occurred, a number of security guards were wandering around. The primary highway linking Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces remained closed on Wednesday, while security in Dera Ismail Khan and the Bhakkar district was on high alert following the explosion.
As a precaution, police closed the road near the Dera Darya Khan bridge and halted all traffic while they conducted a search operation in the surrounding districts, according to Dawn.
An obscure extremist organization Ansar al Islam Pakistan, a group linked with Ittehadul Mujahideen Pakistan, said that their suicide bomber Abu Darda was responsible for the attack.The Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and banned Baloch separatist organizations are mostly to blame for the current spike in terrorist attacks in Pakistan. Although distinct from the Taliban in Afghanistan, the TTP has strong ties to them. The TTP and Kabul both refute Islamabad's accusation that they are operating from inside Afghanistan.
