At least Pakistani security forces and four terrorists were killed during a heavy gun battle when a police post was attacked by suspected terrorists in Quetta city on Thursday, media reports said.

A heavy exchange of firing ensued after the security forces retaliated during the attack on the police post located in  Shaban.

“Our two personnel were martyred,” a senior police officer told Dawn, adding that Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel and Frontier Corps (FC) troops reached the site and launched a counter-attack against the assailants.
