MULTAN: At least 10 Rangers were injured when a landmine they were defusing exploded. They were admitted to hospital in Rajanpur and Rahimyar Khan where two rangers were in critical condition. “At least 10 persons, including Captain Muhammad Shahid, Captain Muhammad Akram, Sub Inspector Muhammad Jehangir, Havaldar Muhammad Naeem and six soldiers were injured when the landmine exploded on the common border of Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan,” Rajanpur District Police Officer Shahid Iqbal said.
