A police officer was martyred and two others were injured on Sunday after their car was hit by a magnetic improvised explosive device (IED) in Khuzdar, Balochistan.
According to the police, Mohammad Murad, a Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Station House Officer, embraced martyrdom in the blast after his vehicle was targeted on the Sultan Ibrahim route.
The injured have been shifted to the Khuzdar Teaching Hospital, according to the police.
Following the incident, Caretaker Federal Minister of Interior Sarfaraz Bugti said that the entire nation must fight the war against terrorism, which has become a major problem.
"The war against terrorism is not just for CTD but for the entire nation," he said.
In October, two people were martyred and three others were injured in a roadside explosion in Balochistan's Chaghi district.
According to the Levies force, the explosion occurred in Chaghi market, 60 km from Dalbandin near the Pak-Afghan border, as a security forces vehicle was passing by.
On September 29, more than 60 people died in two separate suicide strikes in Balochistan's Mastung and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Hangu city.
The country has witnessed a significant spike in the form of the recent wave of terrorist attacks across the country.
Given the recent spike in attacks, the interior ministry set November 1 as the deadline for illegal "aliens," including Afghan illegal immigrants, to leave the country voluntarily.
The interim interior minister disclosed that 14 of the 24 suicide attacks in the country this year were carried out by Afghan nationals.
