JUI-F leader Hafiz Hamdullah’s vehicle has come under gunfire in Balochistan’s Chaman, the party’s provincial information secretary, Dilawar Kakar, told Dawn.com.

He said Hamdullah remained safe in the attack. Kakar added that the JUI-F leader’s guards responded to the firing upon which the attackers fled from the scene.

According to the party secretary, Hamdullah was travelling from Chaman to Quetta when the incident took place.

The incident comes hours after at least 28 people lost their lives in back-to-back blasts in the province. In Qila Saifullah, a blast occurred outside the JUI-F election office.
