Two Police Killed, Four Injured In Separate Attacks In Pakistan


Two policemen have been killed and four more injured in separate incidents in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan provinces of Pakistan.

Two police officers died when an improvised explosive device went off as they were on a routine patrol near Raghagan Dam in the Bajaur tribal district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, a district police spokesperson told Radio Mashaal on November 13.

Bajaur was the scene of another recent police killing, when authorities discovered the corpse of a missing police officer in the Alizai area on October 16.

In an incident farther south on November 13, three police officers were injured in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan Province, after police said unknown perpetrators placed an explosive device in a police vehicle.

There were no claims of responsibility in the incidents.

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
