Balochistan PTCL Office Damaged In Grenade Attack 

Published on

Unidentified men threw a hand grenade at the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited’s (PTCL) office in Balochistan’s Noshki district, damaging the building.

According to the police, the two suspects on a motorbike hurled a grenade at the PTCL’s building and fled the scene.

According to Dawn, no casualties were reported as a result of the attack.

Earlier, a Balochistan CTD official was killed in an explosion targeting his vehicle.

The station house officer (SHO) of the Khuzdar Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) police station, identified as Sharbat Khan Umrani, was killed in a blast targeting his vehicle.

Pakistan has witnessed a resurgence of terrorism with the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) targeting security officials particularly.

TTP is supported by the Taliban-led Afghan government.

According to a report,  at least 120 policemen have been killed and 333 were injured in various attacks this year from January to April in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

This is a significant rise from last year as 105 police personnel were killed in 151 militant attacks in 2022.

In January, a blast in Peshawar mosque inside a police compound claimed the lives of more than 60 people. The TTP claimed responsibility for one of the deadliest blasts in the city. Last month a police station in Peshawar was also targeted, resulting in three deaths. Meanwhile, the day after the deadly Peshawar attack, Punjab police thwarted an attack on a police station in Mianwali.
