Pakistan: Six police personnel killed in three suicide attacks in Quetta
At least 15 security officials were injured in the attacks.
At least six police personnel were killed and 15 security officials injured after three suicide bombers attacked Pakistan’s Quetta on Tuesday, Reuters reported.
“It is a suicide attack, and we have a confirmation that six of our police officials are dead,” provincial police chief Moazzam Jah Ansari told the news agency. Two suicide bombers attempted to strike a paramilitary checkpoint on the city’s border and another targeted a police truck.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
The city has been a target in several attacks. On April 3, unidentified bike-borne men shot dead four members of a Christian family in the city. In December 2017, at least 10 people were killed and 44 were injured in a suicide attack at a Christian church in Balochistan’s Quetta.
