PESHAWAR: Four people belonging to the same family were killed in a shooting incident over a property dispute in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Domel in the early hours of Sunday. The incident occurred in the Odeen Kallay area of Domel late at night. According to Rescue 1122, the shooting claimed the lives of a father and his two sons, as well as another victim who was reportedly a close relative. Rescue 1122 medical teams reached the scene immediately upon receiving the report and transported the bodies to the Domel Rural Health Centre (RHC). Sources said the incident was the result of a property dispute. The Domel police were in the process of registering a case and have launched an investigation into the incident. After two consecutive months of improvement, Pakistan’s security situation deteriorated sharply in May 2026, driven primarily by escalating terrorist violence in KP and Balochistan, according to the monthly security assessment released by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS). The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has expressed alarm over the sharp deterioration in security across these provinces. On Friday, two police constables lost their lives in separate incidents of targeted killings in the district of Bannu, officials said.
