QUETTA, April 11: Two rockets were fired at the Panjgur Airport and a tower of Quetta-Sibi transmission line was blown up in the Bolan area, some 115km from here, early on Monday. Sources said that one of the rockets landed and exploded in the open area of the airport while the other hit a wall. However, official sources said, flights between Turbat and Panjgur remained unaffected.

In the other incident, culprits blew up the high power transmission line tower near Bibi Nani area of the Bolan district.

“Power supply was not disrupted to any area,” a spokesman for the Quetta Electricity Supply Company told Dawn.

Meanwhile, a person identifying himself as Colonel Doda Khan called the Quetta Press Club and claimed that the Baloch Liberation Army was responsible for the rocket attack.
