A devastating bomb explosion shook the lives of six brave policemen on Monday as they were en route to provide security for polio vaccination workers in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The tragic incident unfolded in the Mamund tehsil of Bajaur district, nestled along the border with Afghanistan. These dedicated officers had just boarded a van, ready to join forces with polio vaccination teams, when the blast shattered their world.
As the injured, numbering 22, were rushed to a nearby hospital where an emergency was declared, the profound impact of the attack became painfully clear. Six lives were lost, and 22 others were left grappling with injuries inflicted by this senseless act of violence. Caretaker Chief Minister KPK Arshad Hussain vehemently condemned the assault, emphasizing the unwavering commitment to continue the fight against terrorism until the last terrorist is eliminated.
This heart-wrenching episode sheds light on the persistent dangers faced by polio vaccination teams in Pakistan, who are frequently targeted by militants opposing the vaccine. As the nation grapples with the aftermath of this tragedy, it serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that persist in the quest for public health and safety.
