14 Killed in Suicide Blast at Peace Rally in Pakistan
A big explosion happened in a town called Kabal in Pakistan.
It happened while people were having a peace rally to ask for safety.
The bomb was carried by someone who tried to get into a police station.
The blast killed 14 people, including five police officers, and hurt more than 20 others.
The Pakistani government said they were looking into who did it and thought a group called Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan might be responsible.
The Interior Minister said he was sorry for the families and wished the wounded a quick recovery.
At least 14 people, including five police officers, were killed and more than 20 injured in a suicide bombing during a peace rally in Kabal town, Swat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
The blast occurred near a police station as demonstrators gathered to demand peace and denounce militants.
Police said the bomber tried to breach the police station gate before detonating explosives, killing civilians and officers.
No group has claimed responsibility; authorities suspect Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) may be behind the attack.
Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the attack and offered condolences to victims' families.
