A surge in militant activity in Pakistan's northwest has claimed three lives, including a child, and left 11 others injured in separate incidents on Wednesday. The region has been the target of escalating violence, with militants launching attacks at security personnel and civilians.

Police sources reported that unidentified militants were behind the assault, highlighting fears of rising insurgent aggressions.

Further unrest in the region was marked by a bomb blast from a motorbike in South Waziristan's Azam Warsak area, which killed a child and injured four more.
