Authorities confirmed that it was the fourth drone attack in Bannu in recent months, part of a growing trend of militant groups using quadcopter drones for targeted assaults.
Previous attacks have also caused injuries and damage, raising concerns over evolving terrorist tactics in the region.
Last month, in a move to strengthen counter-terrorism efforts, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police acquired a modern anti-drone system designed to detect and neutralise hostile drones from long distances.
Officials stated that the system would be deployed to safeguard sensitive government installations, public figures, and major events.
