💨 Abstract

Militants attacked a polio vaccination team's police escort in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, causing partial damage to the vehicle. No casualties were reported, and the attackers fled after the policemen responded. The attack highlights ongoing challenges in polio vaccination efforts due to violence and false claims of Western conspiracies. Pakistan has reported over 17 new polio cases since January, threatening decades of progress toward polio elimination.
