The KP has been battling terrorism since the US ouster from Afghanistan, with terrorists often crossing the border to target police convoys and vehicles, leading to the deaths of several officials and personnel.
Last month, at least seven policemen, including the in-charge of Shadi Khel police station, were killed in an explosion near a police mobile in Lakki Marwat.
A week earlier, two policemen were killed and 15 people, including five policemen, injured in an explosion in the Rustam Bazaar area of Wana, Lower South Waziristan.
The province has seen a surge in terrorist attacks, accounting for the highest number of incidents in the country. Of the total 5,397 incidents reported last year, KP recorded 3,811, followed by Balochistan with 1,557 incidents. Only 29 incidents were reported in the rest of the country. A total of 2,597 terrorists were killed during the year.
