This -news alert clarifies that the image being circulated by Afghan propaganda accounts is old and unrelated to any current event. It originates from a 2011 blast at an under-construction police station, not from a recent incident. Kohat Cantonment is described as fully secure and operational, and the claim tying the image to a new incident is deemed false and based on recycled content. The summary emphasizes the importance of verifying image provenance and dates to avoid spreading misinformation.
