KARACHI: Authorities imposed an indefinite curfew in the Khud Kocha sub-tehsil of Mastung district on Wednesday after three people were killed and five others injured in a gun attack on a Karachi-bound passenger bus, while a bridge on the National Highway was damaged in an explosion in the area.
Citing the deteriorating security situation, the Balochistan Home Department imposed an indefinite curfew in the sub-tehsil from 9pm on Wednesday. Babar Yousafzai, spokesperson for the Home Department, said the curfew would remain in force until further orders to maintain peace and public safety.
Residents were not allowed to leave their homes, and all unnecessary movement was prohibited.
“Strict legal action will be taken against anyone found violating the curfew orders,” Yousafzai said, urging citizens to avoid unnecessary travel and cooperate with authorities until normal conditions were restored.
The gun and bomb attacks were reported at a time when security forces killed 10 terrorists and arrested two female suicide bombers, along with their facilitator, during intelligence-based operations in Mastung and Surab districts over the past 48 hours, according to the military’s media wing.
