A CCTV video circulating on social media shows the moment a powerful explosion struck the entrance of Pakistan’s Federal Constabulary (FC) headquarters in Peshawar on Monday, as three attackers attempted to force their way into the compound, according to PTI and local media reports.
The 30-second clip, shared widely online, shows a guard seated beside the main gate when a sudden flash and blast erupt at the entrance. An injured person is then seen walking inside the gate as vehicles rush away from the area.

PTI reported that the incident took place shortly after 8 a.m. on a busy road outside the FC headquarters. City Police Chief Mian Saeed said, “Initially, three militants tried to attack the headquarters. One terrorist blew himself up at the gate, while two others tried to enter the premises but were gunned down by FC personnel.”
Social media users in nearby neighbourhoods said they heard a loud blast coming from the direction of the FC complex. Pakistani authorities said two explosions occurred within the compound one at the main gate and another near a motorcycle stand triggering panic in surrounding residential and commercial areas.
The attack happened as staff had assembled in the main compound at the start of the working week. Three suicide bombers targeted the headquarters of a Pakistani paramilitary force, killing three personnel and wounding at least five, authorities said.
Reuters reported that security personnel and rescue teams were seen at the scene soon after the blast as an investigation began.
