The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan released a video on Saturday claiming an attack on the Gumbati police checkpoint in the Wazir subdivision of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Bannu district.
According to sources, the footage purportedly shows militants entering the post, which police had already vacated, and then destroying it with explosives. Police and officials have not commented, and the video has not been independently verified.
Also in Bannu on Saturday, a police officer named Haroon was injured when unidentified men on a motorcycle opened fire near Mewa Khel Sorani. He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Separately, the Islamic State group released footage purportedly showing the killing of Siddique, alias Madd Baba, a member of a local peace committee in Wana, South Waziristan. That claim has also not been independently verified.
