QUETTA – Frontier Corps soldier and two other persons were injured as terrorists attacked a check post with a hand-grenade in Balochistan capital.
Reports in local media said three persons suffered injuries in a grenade attack that occurred within the remits of Saryaab police station on Qambrani road.
Unidentified assailants hurled a hand grenade at an FC check post before escaping from the area.
