The Wah Cantonment Ordnance Complex is home to Pakistan Ordnance Factories, responsible under the Pakistan Ministry of Defence for producing conventional weapons. The facility is also believed to be Pakistan's main nuclear weapons assembly facility, where – allegedly with Chinese assistance – Pakistan has worked on assembling nuclear weapons since the early 1980s. 

In August 2008, two suicide bombers detonated their explosives just outside the gates of the Wah Cantonment, killing fifty-nine people and wounding seventy.
