At least four Frontier Corps (FC) personnel were martyred and 10 other personnel injured in an improvised explosive device blast on an FC convoy in the Sangan area of Quetta’s Sibi district on Tuesday, a government official said.
The Baloch Liberation Army in an email sent to Reuters said it carried out the attack in which 10 soldiers were martyred.
The homemade bomb had been planted along a road in an area about 180km (113 miles) northeast of Quetta, Assistant Commissioner Sana Mahjbeen Umrani said.
A huge contingent of the FC and other law enforcement agencies reached the site and shifted the injured to Sibi hospital for medical treatment.
An emergency was declared at the hospital to provide medical treatment to the injured.
Balochistan Home Minister Mir Ziaullah Langove strongly condemned the terror attack. In a statement issued after the blast, he said the terrorists behind the terror attack would be brought to justice.
