The death toll in an insurgent attack on a military base in Pakistan rise to 13

The death toll in an attack this Saturday against a military base in northern Pakistan increased to thirteen, including seven members of the security forces and six insurgents, the Asian country’s Army reported.

“A group of six terrorists attacked a security forces post in the Mir Ali area, in the district of North Waziristan. His troops failed in the initial attempt at intrusion, so the terrorists rammed a truck loaded with explosives against the post followed by multiple suicide attacks,” said the communication services of the Pakistani Army, the ISPR.

The source said in a statement that seven soldiers, including two officers, died in an attack that also led to the partial destruction of the military base.

The Pakistani Army claimed that the six attacking insurgents were killed in the confrontation with the security forces.
“During the clean-ups operation, our troops led by Lieutenant Colonel Kashif, managed to confront and send the six terrorists to hell,” the ISPR said.

An officer from the Mir Ali Police Station, Hayat Khan, told EFE that the attack began around 6:10 local time (1:10 GMT), in this district located in the northern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Despite the fact that the Pakistani authorities claimed to have killed all the insurgents, the Army’s communication office pointed out that the security forces are carrying out a search “to eliminate any other terrorist present in the area.”

For now, no insurgent group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The eastern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where today’s attack took place, and southern Balochistan have been especially affected by the increase in insurgent attacks in Pakistan.

Ten police officers were killed and six others were injured on February 5 in an attack on the police station in the Dera Ismail Khan district, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

In that same province, 23 soldiers were killed and more than 30 were injured last December when six insurgents tried unsuccessfully to access a military base, and later a vehicle loaded with explosives crashed into it that caused the collapse of the building.

The rise in violence in the Asian country coincided with the coming to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan in August 2021, which according to the Pakistani Government reactivated the attacks of its Pakistani ideological brothers, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

The government of the Asian country accuses the TTP of using Afghan soil to carry out attacks, an extreme that Kabul has repeatedly denied.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa

Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.

Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.

This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.

Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain

Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.

The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.

The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.

“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.

The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters

The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.

The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.

Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”

It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
