The death toll from a militant attack on a police complex in the Pakistani city of Kohat has climbed to 31, a police official confirmed on Saturday.

The attack targeted police infrastructure in the city, which is located in Pakistan. The official statement did not disclose further details about how the attack unfolded, its duration, or who carried it out. The police official's confirmation focused primarily on the updated casualty figure, indicating that information about the incident's aftermath is still being finalized.

No details have been released regarding the number of people injured, nor whether civilians were among the casualties or if all victims were police personnel. Information about which group may be responsible for the attack has also not been made public, as the Saturday statement centered on the revised death toll.

Attacks of this nature targeting police and security institutions in Pakistan are regarded as serious security incidents, given both the scale of casualties and the fact that the target was state law enforcement infrastructure. The situation in Kohat continues to be assessed, and authorities are still gathering information about what occurred.

No official word has yet been given on further investigative steps or on the detention of anyone responsible for the attack. Authorities are expected to provide additional information as the situation develops and further details become available to the public.
