At least four security personnel were martyred and over 15 injured in a blast near Thandi Sarak in district Sibi of Balochistan, police said.
A senior official of the Counter-Terrorism Department Sibi, Hafeez Rind, told media that it appeared to be a suicide blast; however, the investigation was underway. The blast occurred near an open area where the annual Sibi Mela was being held.
“The blast took place 30 minutes after President Arif Alvi attended the festival in Sibi,” Rind said. He added that four security forces personnel lost their lives and 27 others were injured in the attack.
