5 Pakistani police personnel killed in ‘gun and bomb’ attack

TEHRAN, Dec. 23 (MNA) – Five Pakistani police personnel were killed on Dec 23 when their van was ambushed in a bombing and shooting attack in the country’s north-west, provincial police said, as Pakistan struggles with a resurgence of violence.

Provincial police said the vehicle was first targeted with improvised explosives before the attackers opened fire, killing four officers and the driver. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, The Straits Times reported.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack.

“Police have always played a front-line role in the war against terrorism,” Sharif said.
