On December 12, fighters stormed a military post in northwestern Pakistan, killing at least 23 people in a gun and suicide bomb attack.

The incident took place in the town of Daraban, about 60km from Dera Ismail Khan city, in the restive province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, located at the edge of the lawless tribal regions bordering Afghanistan.

The fighters rammed a vehicle laden with explosives into the main gate of the police station, followed by a suicide bombing attack.
