Narrative:
We had been cleared for the ILS 23 approach. Just after crossing trava intersection; we started our descent and got a GPWS aural warning; 'caution terrain.' we were indicating 4;000 ft. At 200 knots with flaps 8. We then got the aural warning 'too low; terrain; pull up' at this point I performed the egpws escape maneuver by adding toga thrust and initiating a climb. The captain notified ATC of our GPWS warning and that we were initiating a climb. ATC responded with radar vectors back to shoot the ILS 23 approach again. I leveled off at 5;000 ft. After the warnings stopped. We completed the second approach without incident.

Title: Air carrier flight crew reported a terrain warning while on the ILS 23 approach to BUF.
Narrative: We had been cleared for the ILS 23 Approach. Just after crossing TRAVA intersection; we started our descent and got a GPWS aural warning; 'Caution Terrain.' We were indicating 4;000 ft. at 200 knots with flaps 8. We then got the aural warning 'Too Low; Terrain; Pull UP' at this point I performed the EGPWS escape maneuver by adding TOGA thrust and initiating a climb. The captain notified ATC of our GPWS warning and that we were initiating a climb. ATC responded with radar vectors back to shoot the ILS 23 approach again. I leveled off at 5;000 ft. after the warnings stopped. We completed the second approach without incident.
