Five wounded children being treated at CMH Peshawar under supervision of Pakistan Army doctors
\nRAWALPINDI
\nAt least three children were martyred, and five others were injured due to a blast from explosives left by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists \u2014 Fitna al Khwarij \u2014 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Bajaur, the security sources said on Sunday.
\nThe tragic incident, sources added, occurred on September 27 when the children were playing with the explosives left by the outlawed group in the Laghrai area.
\nThe wounded children are being treated at CMH Peshawar under the supervision of Pakistan Army doctors.
\nThe police and relevant agencies, as per the security sources, have surrounded the area and have collected evidence.
\nThe unfortunate incident comes amid the country\u2019s ongoing efforts to curb the menace of terrorism.
\nA day earlier, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that 17 terrorists linked to the Indian proxy Fitna al-Khawarij in KP\u2019s Lakki Marwat district were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) conducted on the night of September 26-27.
\nThe country has witnessed a surge in cross-border terror incidents since Taliban rulers returned to Afghanistan in 2021, particularly in the bordering provinces of KP and Balochistan.
\nIn August, the incidents surged by 74% compared to July, according to a report by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS). The Islamabad-based think tank recorded 194 fatalities from militant attacks during the month.
\nRecently, Pakistan, China, Iran and Russia have also expressed deep concern over the presence of terrorist organisations operating from Afghanistan, including Al-Qaeda, the banned TTP, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and other similar groups.
\nThe four countries issued a statement after their fourth quadripartite meeting on Afghanistan, convened by Russia on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly session in New York on Friday.
\nThey urged the Afghan authorities to take \u201ceffective, concrete and verifiable actions\u201d against terrorist outfits, dismantle training camps, cut off financing, and prevent recruitment and access to weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
