In Pakistan, a terror attack on the country's main defence industry complex has killed around 60 people and injured as many as 80 others. Two suicide bombers blew themselves up at separate gates of the plant, northwest of the capital Islamabad, as employees were exiting. A spokesperson for Pakistani Taliban groups claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation for military airstrikes in the region near the border with Afghanistan. He threatened more bombings unless military operations in the area were called off.
