The death toll from Monday’s suicide bombing that ripped through a mosque situated close to police headquarters in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar has passes 90, making it one of the deadliest attacks in the country.

Pakistani officials have announced the end of a hostage standoff at a prison in the restive tribal region near the Afghan border, with all 33 hostage-takers dead.

At least two policemen were killed and many others injured when Pakistani Taliban militants seized a counter-terrorism centre and took some people hostage in the Bannu district of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

A bomber blows himself up near a truck carrying police officers in southwestern Pakistan, killing two and injuring at least 27 people.

Pakistan’s restive northwestern region bordering Afghanistan has served as a safe haven for local and foreign militants for years.

The Pakistani Taliban’s spokesman is reportedly killed in Afghanistan, no claim of responsibility.

According to experts, the success of Afghan Taliban in regaining power after a 20-year struggle has emboldened the Pakistani Taliban in scaling up its armed activities.

“The government of Pakistan and banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have agreed on a complete ceasefire,” the Pakistani information minister said.
