According to the Deputy Commissioner, six people were also injured in addition to the 11 fatalities, which included women and children.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), in a separate incident, an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Kurram area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa resulted in the shooting deaths of seven khawarij by security forces, ARY News stated. The terrorists who were killed were actively involved in multiple attacks on security personnel and innocent bystanders, according to a statement from the military's media wing. It was also mentioned that five Khwarij were injured in the IBO, ARY News reported.
