At least one Frontier Corps (FC) personnel was martyred Monday after a blast targeted a security forces’ vehicle on Peshawar’s Warsak Road on Monday, police and rescue officials said.

Warsak Superintendent of Police Arshad Khan confirmed that it was an improvised explosive device (IED) blast.

The explosion, according to the spokesperson of Rescue 1122, has left seven FC personnel and three civilians injured.
