Which organization claimed responsibility for the Bannu killings?

Explanation

– The Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group, a Pakistani Taliban-affiliated militant faction, was linked to a major attack on the Bannu Cantonment in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in March 2025.
– The attack involved suicide bombers breaching a wall of the military base before further militants attempted to storm the compound, which security forces repelled.
– The incident came just days after a separate suicide bombing at Darul Uloom Haqqania seminary in Akora Khattak.
– Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has seen a marked increase in militant attacks since the Afghan Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan in 2021.
