At least 15 killed in car bomb attack on checkpoint in northwest Pakistan
Militants have attacked a police checkpoint in northwestern Pakistan, killing at least 15 people and wounding three, according to officials.
Officials said the assault began with a car bomb at the checkpoint before gunmen stormed the post and opened fire on police.
They also said small drones were used in the attack.
The checkpoint was hit in northwestern Pakistan, but no further details were given in the supplied material about the exact location or the identity of those killed.
The incident is significant because it combines several attack methods in one strike and has caused a high number of casualties at a police post.
It also points to continuing security risks for law enforcement positions in the region.
The supplied material does not say who carried out the attack or whether any group has claimed responsibility.
It also does not give details on the condition of the wounded.
No additional official response was included in the available report, and it is not clear whether the checkpoint has since been secured.
