Fresh violence has erupted in Pakistan after a suicide bomber struck the main gate of the Frontier Corps (FC) headquarters in Balochistan’s Nokkundi, triggering a fierce exchange of fire that left three attackers dead. Security officials said the assault began when a suicide bomber detonated himself at the entrance, prompting a rapid response from FC personnel who engaged the remaining gunmen.According to FC Balochistan South, the attackers were linked to Fitna-al-Khawarij, a term used by the state for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan. The force said three terrorists were killed in the retaliatory firefight, while a clearance operation was underway to ensure no further threats remained inside the compound. Officials said the situation was “under control” and vowed that “the last of the terrorists will also be dealt with soon.”The latest attack comes just days after gunmen and two suicide bombers stormed a paramilitary complex in Peshawar. Police said one bomber targeted the main entrance while another moved deeper into the facility. Three people were killed, and security personnel had to cordon off the area amid fears more militants were hiding inside. Videos shared online captured the sound of repeated explosions near FC Chowk, as officers warned that the headquarters was under attack and emergency measures had been activated.This escalation follows a series of deadly incidents across Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Earlier this year, a car bomb outside the FC headquarters in Quetta killed ten people, while a suicide blast at a political rally in September left 11 dead. Pakistan’s forces continue to face a sustained insurgency in Balochistan, where hundreds of security personnel and civilians have been killed throughout the year.
