The aftermath prompted authorities to declare an emergency in district hospitals. Concurrently, educational institutions, including schools and colleges, were promptly shut down as a precautionary measure in the wake of the assault.

The Pakistani Taliban's decision to terminate a ceasefire with the government has intensified the already precarious situation, further endangering security forces in the region.
