On February 25, 2026, a surge of violence in Pakistan resulted in the deaths of seven security personnel across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and Balochistan. In a significant incident, four police officers were martyred and two others injured when unidentified assailants attacked an Ababeel police patrol in Bajaur during Iftar time. Station House Officer Gul Zada confirmed that the attack occurred while the officers were on routine patrol, stating, "The squad was ambushed, resulting in four fatalities on the spot." The deceased were identified as Yar Zada, Dawood Khan, Imran Khan, and Siraj Khan. This attack followed another incident where three security personnel were killed in Chaman, Balochistan, highlighting a troubling trend of increasing assaults on law enforcement in the region. Authorities reported that the attackers in Chaman fled immediately after the ambush, and security forces have since intensified operations to apprehend those responsible. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the attacks, emphasizing the need for heightened security measures in response to the escalating violence, which has seen a significant uptick in recent weeks, including a suicide bombing that killed two policemen in Bhakkar the previous day.
