Two police personnel were injured as explosives went off near Shafi Town of Rahim Yar Khan on Friday afternoon, Express News reported.


Regional Police Office (RPO) Bahawalpur Muhammad Idrees said that a man clad in a burqa targeted DSP Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Chaudhry Ashraf. The bomber was effectively neutralised at a safe distance, he added.

The injured personnel were rushed to Shaikh Zayed Hospital where condition of both of them was stated to be critical.

The assailant blew himself when a large number of people had gathered at the mosque to offer prayers.

Eyewitnesses also said that the incident took place when the personnel deputed for mosque security inquired a suspect apparently disguised as a beggar of his whereabouts.

This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.

If there was any operation in punjab, it would have started from RYK.

Why is that? :/

RYK is kinda my ancestral town, it isn't filled with educated people but it's brimmed with religious people. Or you can say the type of people that consider mumtaz qadri a hero.

95% of Pakistanis consider Mumtaz Qadri a Hero.

Has anyone figured out who the attacker belongs to?

My home city...loving people...i was born and brought up there and miss its intense weather...intense dry summers and intense dry winters...historically a very peaceful city...provided refuge to punjabis who were kicked out from sindh by sindhi nationalists in early eighties...no bias among punjabis, saraikis, pathans or even hindus...everybody loves and respect eachother...its indeed saddening to have such an incident there...but one thing is for sure...it has porous border with india...all desert so RAW is extremely active there...that is also the area which is the prime target of India with respect to COLD START DOCTRINE...
