- Authorities began evidence collection and an investigation while hospitals treated the injured, as Bannu police, Bomb Disposal Squad , and Quick Response Force secured and cleared the site.
- Nearby shops in front of the station were damaged, civilians suffered casualties, and Regional Police Officer Sajjad Khan visited the hospital to check on the injured.
- No group has claimed responsibility, though suspicion centers on the Pakistani Taliban , whose attacks strain Islamabad and Kabul relations; the TTP is separate from but allied with Afghanistan's Taliban.
