==== January 2017 Parachinar bombing ==== | |||
On 21 January 2017 ([[Indian National Calendar|INC]]: 01 Saura Māgha 1938), a bomb explosion occurred at a vegetable market in Parachinar, located in the Kurram Valley of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 25 individuals and left 87 others injured. Parachinar serves as the administrative headquarters of the Kurram Agency, situated near the Afghan border. | |||
This tragic incident was not an isolated event, as the region has experienced multiple attacks in the past, including bombings in 2008, February 2012, September 2012, 2013, and December 2015. The recurring violence in Parachinar highlights the ongoing security challenges faced by the area, which has been plagued by sectarian tensions and militant activities over the years. | |||
