2025.2.19 Gunmen kill policeman guarding polio team in KP’s Bajaur
Two motorcyclists opened fire, killing policeman on spot; polio team remained unharmed
PESHAWAR: A policeman guarding a polio vaccination team were shot dead by militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bajaur district on Wednesday, the police said.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only countries where polio is endemic and militants have for decades targeted vaccination teams and their security escorts.
Polio has resurged in Pakistan, with two cases reported so far this year, and at least 74 polio infections last year, compared to six in 2023.
“Two motorcycle riders opened fire… as a result, the police officer died on the spot, but the polio team remained unharmed,” Niaz Muhammad, a police officer in Bajaur district, told AFP.
Bajaur district shares a 52-kilometre border with Afghanistan.
The start of the polio campaign had been delayed in the district for security reasons, after a rise in militant attacks in the area, said Waqas Rafiq, a senior police official.
“Despite the attack, the campaign continues in all areas [of the district] except the site of the incident,” he said.
Polio mostly affects children under five and sometimes causes lifelong paralysis but can easily be prevented by the oral administration of a few drops of vaccine.
Over the past decade, hundreds of police officers and health workers have been killed by militants waging an offensive against the Pakistani state.
Pakistan has witnessed a dramatic uptick in attacks, mostly in KP and Balochistan, since the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2021, with Islamabad claiming hostile groups plan their attacks from Afghan soil.

Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Interior Minister Waqar Ahmad Noor has accused India of smuggling weapons and drugs across the Line of Control (LoC) and orchestrating sabotage activities in the region using improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Addressing a press conference in Muzaffarabad, Noor stated that India’s military and intelligence agencies were involved in destabilising the region through subversive activities, Express News reported.
He revealed that since 2016, there have been 54 incidents of IEDs being planted along the LoC, with an increasing number of such activities in recent years.
