The incident took place in Dera Ismail Khan district when unknown militants opened fire at a convoy of security forces, leading to the death of two soldiers including a military driver.

According to sources from the Counter Terrorism Department, the firing was followed by the suicide attack. The area has been cordoned off for investigations as no group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
