Suicide Bombing Targets Peace Rally in Pakistan's Swat Valley

A suicide bomber killed 14 and wounded 22 at a peace rally outside Kabal police station in Swat Valley on 2 August 2026. Hundreds had gathered to demand action against rising violence — the province saw 154 terrorism deaths in July, more than double June's toll. No group has claimed responsibility. Pakistan accuses Afghanistan's Taliban of sheltering cross-border militants; Kabul denies it.
