The minister extended condolences to the affected and called for a swift and thorough investigation.
The blast, which targeted the vicinity of a police installation in one of KPK's security-sensitive districts, follows a pattern of attacks on law enforcement infrastructure in the region. Naurang, a tehsil in Lakki Marwat district, has previously been the site of security incidents connected to militant activity.
Authorities have launched a comprehensive response, with security forces cordoning off the area and forensic teams deployed to assess the nature and scale of the explosion. Details regarding casualties and the precise method of attack were still being established at the time of reporting.
The attack comes at a time of heightened security sensitivity following the India-Pakistan military confrontation, with Pakistani law enforcement agencies on elevated alert status. The incident underscores the persistent threat posed by militant networks operating in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's southern districts.
