\"\"ISLAMABAD: Monitoring Desk – Two suicide bombings breached a wall at a military base in Bannu cantonment in KPK\u00a0 before other attackers stormed the compound and were repelled in violence that killed at least 12 people and wounded 30 others, according to officials and a local hospital.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A group affiliated with the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in Bannu, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The military didn\u2019t immediately confirm any casualties, but Bannu District Hospital said that at least a dozen people were dead.<\/p>\n

Associated Press reported that\u00a0 two suicide bombers blew themselves up near the wall of the sprawling military area, a security official said on condition of anonymity, because he wasn\u2019t authorized to speak with reporters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a breach in the wall, five to six more attackers attempted to enter the cantonment, but were eliminated,\u201d the security official said.<\/p>\n

The attack happened after sunset, when people would have been breaking their fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Jaish Al-Fursan<\/strong> claimed responsibility for the attack, the third<\/span> militant assault in Pakistan since Ramadan started Sunday. In a statement, the group said the source of the blasts were explosive-laden vehicles.<\/p>\n

Plumes of gray smoke rose into the air and gunshots continued after the two explosions, police officer Zahid Khan said. Four of those killed were children, hospital officials said. The victims lived close to the scene of the blasts.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Bannu District Hospital, Muhammad Noman, said that the evening blasts badly damaged homes and other buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe roofs and walls collapsed and that\u2019s why we are receiving casualties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
