WANA: An explosion rocked South Waziristan on Wednesday, near the car of former Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Naseerullah Wazir, injuring five people.
According to media reports, the blast occurred in close proximity to Wazir’s parked vehicle, though the exact nature of the explosion and its intended target remain uncertain.
The injured parties are currently receiving medical treatment at a nearby hospital, with the severity of their injuries yet to be determined.
Law enforcement authorities swiftly responded to the scene and have initiated an investigation into the incident. As of now, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Naseerullah Wazir, a well-known figure in South Waziristan, previously served as an MPA for the region and has a long-standing involvement in local politics.
This incident underscores the persistent security challenges facing the tribal areas, where militant activity continues to pose threats to stability. The motive behind the explosion and whether Wazir was specifically targeted remain key questions under investigation.
