Several cities in the Northwest region of Pakistan have been hit throughout Pakistan following the deadly attack in Lahore yesterday. The attacks were focused on state targets, especially the police, however, hundreds of civilians have been killed and injured.

The Taliban did take responsibility for the Lahore attacks and was likely involved in these attacks as well. Sustained attacks continue to disrupt lives in Pakistan as the government fails to get a handle on Taliban which controls much of the northwest region.
