Two police personnel were martyred and another critically injured when terrorists carried out a grenade attack on a police patrol van in the Sui area of Dera Bugti district, Balochistan, on Saturday.
According to police sources, the incident took place in Toota Colony, where unidentified assailants targeted a police vehicle on routine patrol duty. The attackers hurled a hand grenade at the mobile van, resulting in a powerful explosion.
As a result, two police officials — identified as Nasruddin and Rahim Ali — were martyred on the spot, while Sub-Inspector Anwar sustained serious injuries. He was immediately shifted to a nearby hospital, where medical staff described his condition as critical.
Following the attack, security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to track down the perpetrators.
Law enforcement agencies have condemned the cowardly attack and vowed to bring those responsible to justice. The incident marks another grim reminder of the challenges faced by security personnel in maintaining peace in volatile regions of Balochistan.
