At least 24 people including 10 policemen were injured in a blast in Quetta’s Belili area. Police sources said a truck carrying policemen was targeted through a blast. The Deputy Inspector General of Police Quetta, Azfar Maisar said two policemen were martyred and 24 injured in the blast.
“This seems to be a suicide attack”, a security official who declined to be named told Daily Quetta Voice via telephone. The policemen were coming from Belili to Quetta city when targeted. Initial investigation suggests a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into the police truck. The death toll is likely to rise as some injured are in serious condition, Azfar Maisar, the DIG Police said.
