QUETTA (APP) - At least nine personnel of the law enforcement agencies were martyred and 13 were injured in a suicide blast near the vehicle of Balochistan Constabulary in Bolan area on Monday.

“The blast occurred on the Kambri bridge, an area bordering with the Sibi and Kachhi districts,” Kachi SSP Muhammad Notezai said while confirming the incident.
