BANNU: Security forces foiled an attempt by terrorists to enter the  cantonment of Bannu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwaq and killed six of the suicide attackers.

According to security sources, the terrorists tried to enter the cantonment soon after Iftar. When the security forces encountered them, the terrorists crashed two explosive-laden vehicles into the main gate of Bannu Cantt.

The blast after the vehicles hit the wall of the cantonment caused parts of nearby houses and other buildings including a mosque to cave in, injuring scores of people.
