Car bomb attack in northwest Pakistan kills at least 14 police personnel

A car bombing and a subsequent ambush on responding cops resulted in the death of at least 14 police personnel in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday, authorities said. The incident took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Bannu.

Police official Sajjad Khan said three personnel were found alive at the site of the attack and rushed to hospital. Another officer, cited by Reuters, spoke on the condition of anonymity and said that the attackers first rammed into the post with an explosive-laden car and then stormed the premises while opening fire at any remaining officers.

"Other law enforcement personnel were sent to help the police, but the terrorists ambushed them and caused some casualties," he said. Police sources cited by Reuters said the attackers also used drones in the attack.
