Suicide bombing attack in Pakistan during wedding celebrations kills 7 people, guests were dancing when explosion occurred

At least five people were killed, and ten were injured in a suicide blast during wedding celebrations at the residence of a peace committee member in Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province on Friday (January 24, 2026 ) night.

District Police Officer Dera Ismail Khan district, Sajjad Ahmed Sahibzada, confirmed that it was a suicide bombing that occurred during a wedding celebration at the residence of the peace committee chief Noor Alam Mehsud near Qureshi morr.

The guests were reportedly dancing when the attack happened. The blast caused the room’s roof to collapse, hampering rescue operations and making it difficult to reach those trapped under the debris.
