QUETTA, May 28: Six people, including four security personnel, were injured in a rocket attack and landmine explosions in Dera Bugti and Kohlu districts on Sunday.

Some miscreants also blew up a pipeline supplying gas to a Sui plant from Loti in the Pesh Bogi area and two bomb explosions occurred in the Wadh town.

According to official sources, miscreants fired five rockets at Kohlu township from nearby mountains. One of the rockets hit the wall of a Frontier Constabulary camp, injuring two soldiers – Amir Mohammad and Naik Badshah. The FC men retaliated and forced the attackers to flee.

Two more security personnel were injured when their vehicle hit a landmine in the Sangsilla area of Dera Bugti during routine patrolling.

Sources said another landmine explosion was reported in the Haideri Nullah area of the Pir Koh gas field. Two Kalpar Bugti tribesmen received injuries who were admitted to a Sui hospital.

Another report said armed tribesmen blew up a 16-inch- diameter gas pipeline in the Pash Bogi area. They had planted explosives around the pipeline.

“A big portion of the pipeline supplying gas to the Sui purification plant from the Loti gas filed was badly damaged,” a senior police officer of Sui confirmed the incident when contacted on phone. The gas supply to the Sui plant was suspended after the explosion.

Sources said two bomb explosions also occurred in the Wadh town, some 380km south of here.

“Local-made devices were used in the explosions,” said the Wadh police, adding that no casualty was reported.
