Pakistan: Cop killed in Gwadar
A policeman died during an exchange of fire after attackers hurled a grenade near a mosque in Pakistan's Gwadar region on Sunday.
Gwadar Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Zia Mandokhail told Dawn News that a residential quarter of people belonging to Punjab was targeted with a hand grenade near Bilal Mosque located on Syed Hashmi Avenue.
The attackers fired in the air and tried to escape from the spot.
A police constable, who was present at the scene, tried to chase one of the attackers.
The timely police action led to one attacker, Shah Jahan, being killed, while the other, Shahzad, was seriously injured, Dawn News reported.
Policeman Muhammad Khamari reportedly died in the attack.
Three others were also injured in the attack, SSP Mandokhail told the newspaper.
The incident occurred amid the recent escalation of tension between India and Pakistan in recent times, following the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 non-Muslim tourists dead on April 22.
