At least five police officers were killed in two coordinated attacks on police vehicles in northwest Pakistan on Tuesday, officials said, highlighting a renewed spike in militant violence in the region.
The first attack took place in the Kohat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where gunmen ambushed a police vehicle and shot dead one officer. Within minutes, as additional personnel rushed to the scene, the assailants struck again, killing four more officers, local police official Kamran Khan told news agency AP.
