Violence Across KP: Transgender Person Killed in Peshawar, Woman Dies in Bannu, Three Shot Dead in Tank

The three back-to-back incidents have raised fresh concerns about security across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

A transgender person was shot dead in the Tehkal area of Peshawar late Tuesday night after unknown assailants opened fire inside a local plaza. 

The victim, identified as Asad, succumbed to injuries on the spot. Police rushed to the scene and shifted the body to the mortuary for a post-mortem examination. 

The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and an investigation is underway.

In a separate incident in the Serah Darga area of Bannu, a woman was killed and three others, including two children, were injured when, reportedly, a quadcopter strike during an operation targeting militants accidentally hit a civilian home. 

Local sources said the strike was aimed at suspected members of the Zafran alias Fateh militant group active in the region. However, the explosive landed on the house of a man named Mir Aslam, causing civilian casualties. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
