 Unidentified people fired three rockets targeting a grid station in Machh and injured a man, while a bomb exploded on a railway track near Sibi, officials said on Sunday. The rockets were fired from nearby hills in the Machh town, 60 kilometres south of Quetta. Two rockets fell in the grid station area while one fell out of the boundary and injured a man. However, power installations remained safe in the attack. Baloch Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the attack. A man who identified himself as Azad Baloch told authorities by phone that the attack had been carried out by BLA activists who demanded more rights for the Balochistan province. A railway track was damaged when a bomb exploded on the track between Sibi and Bakhtiarabad, around 140 kilometres southeast of Quetta. Railway authorities said that about one-and-half feet track was damaged. No body has claimed responsibility so far, they said. Another bomb was found about one kilometre from the site of the explosion and was defused, an official said. |
