An explosion targeting a police van on patrol in Lower Dir on Thursday claimed the lives of a station house officer (SHO), the vehicle's driver, and a passerby, police told DawnNewsTV.

The blast, which took place in the Maidan Circle area near Sara Panra, was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

It appeared to have targeted a Zimdara Police Station van, which was on patrol at the time, Deputy Superintendent Police (DSP) Rehmatullah said.

Zimdara SHO Bakht Munir Khan and his driver Irfan were killed, the DSP said, while one FC official identified as Hazrat ─ a gunner to the SHO ─ was injured.

The wounded official was taken to nearby Lal Qilla Hospital, the DSP added.

A search operation in the area is ongoing.

Law enforcement agencies should start replacing double cabin with armored vehicle and MRAP specially from those high threat areas.

I fail to understand why don't we use surveillance balloons in the vast and empty areas, where IEDs are planted.
They're cheaper than drones, and probably more effective for surveillance of patrol routes used by the police.

Something like this could've been used, and probably have saved countless lives.
Even if not, it could've told us where the attackers came from and went to. I hope someone can explain this to me.
