At least one dead, 11 injured in Balochistan blast

F.P. Report

QUETTA: At least one person was killed and 11 more injured in a bomb blast in Dera Murad Jamali in Balochistan on Sunday.

Initial reports suggest an explosives-laden motorcycle detonated in the city’s Mazdoor Chowk area. The powerful explosion left at least three of the 11 injured people in critical condition.

Officials have cordoned off the area for a search operation and they fear the casualty figure may rise.

On February 13, four security personnel were injured in a suicide bomb blast in Balochistan’s Mastung district. As per officials, a suicide bomber targeted a security convoy on patrol in Mastung’s Sheikh Wasil area.

The bombing came a day after four police officials were martyred in a gun attack on a police patrol in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s DI Khan.

The police van was attacked when it stopped at a gas station in the jurisdiction of Parovah police station. The officer leading the patrol, SHO Tahir Nawaz, was critically wounded in the attack, while two passers-by also sustained injuries.

The martyred personnel were identified as Sepoy Mehrban, Sepoy Asif, Sepoy Sarfaraz, and Sepoy Javed.
