SIBI (MNN); One person was killed and five others were injured in an explosion near Chenak Chowk in Balochistan’s Sibi district on Thursday, police officials said.
Station House Officer (SHO) Ghulam Ali Abro said the blast was caused by a grenade attack that took place at around 7:05pm. He confirmed that security forces and Edhi ambulances reached the site immediately after receiving information about the incident.
According to the SHO, six injured individuals were shifted to hospital, where one of them later succumbed to injuries while being transported.
Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) for the Sibi region, Barkat Khosa, told journalists that the injured were taken to the Teaching Hospital, while the body of the deceased was handed over to his family. He added that security had been tightened in the area and investigations were underway.
Last month, a similar incident occurred in the Wadh area of Khuzdar district, where an eight-year-old child was killed and five members of a family, including two women, were injured after a grenade exploded inside a house. Police said unidentified attackers had hurled a hand grenade into the courtyard of a house where two families from Sindh’s Kashmore district were staying.
