On 18 May 2023, a blast took place next to the Ring Road in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
Following the expiration of the truce between the government and the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in November of the previous year, there was a spike in violence.
With over 130 people killed and 254 injured in at least 44 militant incidents nationwide in January 2023, which was the worst month since 2018, the attacks reached their pinnacle.
Three people were hurt in the explosion, which was caused by a bomb placed inside a motorbike, and one person died.
Police, medics, and a bomb disposal team responded to the event and arrived on the scene to seal the area and gather evidence.
