At least two policemen were killed and another was injured in a planted bomb blast in Pakistan's Quetta region on Saturday.

Speaking to the media, Quetta’s Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Azhar Rashid told Dawn News that the explosives were planted at the site of the incident beforehand and they exploded as soon as the police vehicle arrived.

“Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Zainuddin and gunman Mohammad Tahir embraced martyrdom whereas the driver got injured and was moved to Mufti Mehmood Memorial Hospital”, DSP Rashid said.

After receiving medical aid, the driver was shifted to a trauma centre in Quetta, the DSP added.

Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti has condemned the incident.

Pakistan is witnessing an uptick in terror activities in recent times.

Quoting data shared by Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS), an Islamabad-based think-tank, Dawn News reported that a total of 59 terrorist attacks occurred countrywide compared to 38 attacks in the previous month.
