According to the military’s media wing, the security forces including Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan and Army troops safely evacuated around 800 people and killed all the three terrorists during the operation.

Police personnel immediately responded to the attack and shot one of three suicide bombers at the entry of DIG complex, who blew himself up, while other two started indiscriminate firing and got into one of the side rooms.

Nine people, including three police officers, five civil employees of police and one civilian candidate embraced martyrdom in the attack, reads the statement, while 21 others including 19 police officers sustained bullet injuries in the terrorist attack.
