Suspected militants killed a police officer and a passerby in Bajaur, Pakistan, during an attack on a security detail protecting a polio vaccination team on December 15, 2025.
The incident occurred amid a nationwide campaign to vaccinate 45 million children, with no polio workers injured.
The attack took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province near the Afghanistan border, and no group claimed responsibility, though the Pakistani Taliban and other militant factions are suspected due to past targeting of vaccination efforts.
Pakistan and Afghanistan remain the only two countries where polio is still endemic.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack and pledged a strong response.
The country reported 30 polio cases in early 2025, a decline from 74 in the same period the previous year.
Since the 1990s, over 200 polio workers and police officers have been killed in attacks linked to vaccination drives, often fueled by false claims of Western plots to sterilize children.
