At least 12, mostly Policemen, were killed by multiple explosions caused by a fire in a munitions cache, at a Police Station. The explosions levelled the specialist counter-terrorism station in Kabal town of Swat Valley, in the northwestern region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The incident came amid a string of high-toll militant assaults on police, many linked to the domestic Taliban branch, and initially sparked fears of a fresh attack. Police said a short-circuit in a basement storing grenades & other explosives was the cause of the blasts. Since the start of the year, 2 attacks on large Police bases have been linked to the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Pakistan has witnessed a dramatic uptick in attacks since Taliban seized control of Kabul. TTP was founded in 2007, when Pakistani militants fighting alongside the Taliban splintered off to focus attacks on Islamabad as payback for supporting the U.S. Invasion after the 9/11 attacks.

As per the World Health Organisation, cases in Pakistan last year, after devastating floods left a third of the country under water, rose four-fold to 1.6 million.

A Pakistani court recently imposed a $2.48 million fine on China National Petroleum Corporation. The case relating to the violation of contract norms has again brought forth increasing economic mistrust between the two countries. Remember, many projects under the so-called China-Pakistan economic corridor have been stalled, turning into financial liabilities. There have been unresolved differences between the Pakistani and Chinese governments. China has slowed investments in large infrastructure projects. Beijing reportedly sees key projects in Pakistan as vulnerable to local politics, and the returns on investments have been delayed. The differences between the two governments, though not new, have been kept behind closed doors. Terror attacks aimed at Chinese projects have also impacted economic cooperation between Beijing and Islamabad. Pakistan’s financial woes have further decreased its capacity to fulfil financial obligations in various projects.
