At Least 9 Killed, 11 Injured in Suicide Attack on Pakistan Army: Report
New Delhi: Three days after the Pulwama terror strike, at least nine personnel were killed and 11 injured in a suicide attack on Pakistan Army convoy near Balochistan.
According to a report in The Balochistan Post, the Balochistan Liberation Front and Baloch Republican Guards have claimed responsibility for the attack between Turbat and Panjgur. The attack occurred hours before the Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman arrived in Pakistan.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the sub-continent after the suicide attack in Jammu and Kashmir, where a 20-year-old youth rammed an explosives-laden SUV into a convoy of CRPF, killing 40 personnel. (News18)
