On June 26, two Pakistan Air Force (PAF) pilots were martyred as a training aircraft crashed while landing at the Peshawar airbase, said a statement released. “Both the pilots embraced Shahadat in the tragic incident. A board of inquiry had been ordered by Air Headquarters to determine the cause of the accident,” said the PAF statement.

On June 25, a five-year-old boy was allegedly gang-raped by three teenage students of a seminary in the Mattani area of the city.

Police said that they had registered a case but it was not immediately clear if they had arrested the culprits. A local resident said that the five-year-old boy was near his house in the Gulshanabad area when three seminary students forced him into the nearby seminary where they gang-raped him.
