Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), referred to as ‘Fitna-al-Khawarij’ by the Pakistani state, is a banned group.
The attack comes a day after three TTP militants were killed in retaliatory action by Pakistani security forces in Balochistan.
According to a statement issued by Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan South spokesperson, this was done after one of the “suicide attackers” blew himself up at the main gate of the FC headquarters in Balochistan’s Nokkundi, Dawn reported.
The report also claimed that at least six armed attackers had entered the FC headquarters after the actions of one of the suicide attackers.
Reportedly, a checkpost in the Gurmakan area of Panjgur district also came under attack.
After TTP ended a ceasefire with the Pakistan government in November 2022, their activities have intensified, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
Dawn reported that seven blasts rocked Quetta and Dera Murad Jamali in Balochistan on November 29, with one explosion blowing up a section of railway track and suspending train traffic.
