 ==== February 2017 Lahore suicide bombing ====
+On 13 February 2017 ([[Indian National Calendar|INC]]: 24 Saur Māgha 1938), a suicide bombing occurred on Mall Road in Lahore, Pakistan, targeting a large gathering of pharmaceutical industry stakeholders, including manufacturers, wholesalers, chemists, stockists, distributors, doctors, and pharmacists who were protesting at Charing Cross in front of the Punjab provincial assembly. According to sources from the Punjab Police, the attack resulted in the deaths of 18 people, including several police officials, and left at least 87 others injured.
+The militant group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a faction of the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP), claimed responsibility for the bombing. Following the attack, local authorities cordoned off the area to initiate investigations. Pakistani officials indicated that the assault was planned from Afghanistan, where the militant group has established sanctuaries. In response to the attack, Pakistani security forces launched Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad, which led to the killing of the attack's mastermind, Wajihullah, near the Afghan border on 23 February. This operation aimed to enhance security and counter terrorism across the country.
