Three dead after suicide blast targets peace committee leader’s home in DI Khan
Three people lost their lives after a suicide blast ripped through a wedding at a peace committee leader’s residence in Dera Ismail Khan, police said on Friday night.
The law enforcers said seven others, including Aman Committee head Noor Alam Mehsud, were injured during the blast, which occurred at his residence near Qureshi Mor.
According to police, the explosion took place while the marriage event was underway, resulting in multiple people sustaining injuries. The injured were immediately shifted to the hospital for medical treatment. Five have been transported to the DHQ Trauma Centre.
Police officials said the nature of the blast is being determined. However, initial investigations suggest that the explosion appears to be a suicide attack. The miscreants also resorted to firing after bombing.
Meanwhile, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has strongly condemned the suicide blast, and sought immediate report from the provincial police chief.
He also directed the authorities concerned to provide best medical facilities to injured.
Calling the incident “unfortunate”, the chief minister said that those responsible for the blast will be brought to justice.
Pakistan has experienced a rise in cross-border terrorist incidents since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in 2021. The provinces of KP and Balochistan, which border Afghanistan, have been particularly affected by these attacks.
ISPR Director General Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, in his presser on January 6, said that law enforcement agencies carried out 75,175 IBOs across the country in 2025.
Giving a breakdown, he said 14,658 IBOs were conducted in KP, 58,778 in Balochistan, while 1,739 operations took place in the rest of the country.
Lt Gen Chaudhry said that 5,397 terrorism incidents were reported nationwide during the last year. Of these, 3,811 incidents, he said, occurred in KP, 1,557 in Balochistan, and 29 incidents were reported in other parts of the country.
He said that 2,597 terrorists were killed during counterterror operations last year. While providing details of 10 major terror attacks across the country, he said that civilians and soft targets had been deliberately targeted, and Afghan militants were involved in all attacks.
Pakistan has time and again called on the Afghan Taliban regime in Kabul to prevent its soil from being used by terrorists against Pakistan, and the issue recently resulted in heightened tensions featuring cross-border attacks by the Afghan side, resulting in retaliation from Pakistani forces as well.
This is a developing story and is being updated with further details.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s perseverance rover has successfully completed its first artificial intelligence (AI) driven drive on another planet.
The perseverance used an AI model, Claude, developed by Anthropic, to design a 400-meter safe route across the rocky terrain of Jezero Carter. The plan was executed on December 8 and 10, 2025.
Previously, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) performed this manually.
As Mars is, on average, 140 million miles away from Earth, it creates a communication delay of about 20 minutes, which makes it unable to drive rovers in real-time.
Instead of it, operators meticulously plan a series of way points also known as “breadcrumb trail” with the help of orbital images and rover data, which the rover then follows autonomously between points.
For this test, engineers gave Claude years of mission data in context.
The AI system analysed high-resolution orbital imagery, detected dangers such as boulder fields and sand ripples, and produced a continuous path.
It even produced the commands in the rover’s specialised programming language.
Before application, JPL engineers verified it via standard verification simulation, checking over 500,000 variables.
One minor adjustment was needed after tests. Resultantly, perseverance drove 689 ft and then 807 ft on the two sols (Marian days), completing the AI-planned route without issue.
Just in time for love filled February moments, Meghan Markle has unveiled a special limited edition chocolate collection through her lifestyle brand As Ever on Saturday.

In fact, the brand’s name, As Ever, represents her desire to build something timeless and warm that feels like home.
