On 23 June 2017, a series of terrorist attacks took place in Pakistan resulting in 96 dead and over 200 wounded. They included a suicide bombing in Quetta targeting policemen, followed by a double bombing at a market in Parachinar, and the targeted killing of four policemen in Karachi.[1][2][3]

Responsibility for the Quetta attack was claimed by Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and ISIL,[4] while no group accepted responsibility for the Parachinar attack.[5] According to the military, both attacks were coordinated from terrorist sanctuaries in Afghanistan.[6]
