GWADAR: Five labourers from Sindh sustained injuries in a grenade attack on a residential quarter in Pasni, Balochistan, late Tuesday night, according to police officials.
Police reported that unidentified assailants on motorcycles threw a grenade at a house located in Ward No. 9 of the coastal town. The explosion occurred in the courtyard of the residence, resulting in injuries to five individuals and damaging part of the building.
The injured men, all reportedly hailing from Larkana and Qambar Shahdadkot districts in Sindh, were working as labourers in Gwadar. Police responded promptly to the incident, arriving at the scene and transferring the wounded to the district hospital for medical treatment.
A police official stated, “The condition of one injured is serious, while others are stable despite receiving multiple injuries.”
Authorities have launched an investigation into the attack. As of now, no group has claimed responsibility for the incident.
The attack comes amid a noted increase in militancy in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over the past year. However, police noted that there had been a reduction in militant activity following recent law enforcement operations in the region.
