On 24 April 2023, an explosion in the Counter-Terrorism Department building in Kabal, Swat Valley, Pakistan, killed at least 17 people and wounded more than 50 others. Although the origin of the explosion is still being looked into, it is assumed that either an ancient ammo store or the explosive material kept in the building's basement caught fire.
Although their role is unconfirmed, Tehreek-e-Jihad Pakistan (TJP) claimed responsibility for the attack a day later.
