MASTUNG: At least three Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel were martyred and several others injured in a blast targeting a police truck in Balochistan’s Mastung area on Tuesday.
The vehicle, according to the paramilitary force, was targeted in the Shamsabad area, leaving as many as 16 personnel wounded in the incident.
Noting that an emergency has been imposed in the Bolan Medical Complex Hospital and the Civil Hospital, the Balochistan government spokesperson said that those injured in the incident are being shifted to Quetta — of which two are in critical condition.
Highlighting that the truck carrying security personnel from Kalat via the RTC was targeted by an improvised explosive device (IED), spokesperson Shahid Rind said that Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti directed Health Minister Bakht Kakar to oversee the situation.
Ordering better health facilities for the injured, the provincial chief executive also warned that no negligence would be tolerated in their treatment.
“The Balochistan government will stand by the martyrs,” the official said.
