Suicide bombing kills 14 at anti-violence protest in Pakistan's Swat Valley

A suicide bomber killed at least 14 people outside a Swat Valley police station on August 2, targeting protesters demonstrating against rising violence in northwestern Pakistan. No group has claimed responsibility. Suspicion falls on the TTP, a militant group that ended its ceasefire with Islamabad in late 2022. Attacks across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have since become routine.
