10/13/2017 (Pakistan) - According to national media reports on Friday, 13 October, one police officer has been killed and three individuals injured when armed suspects opened fire on a police patrol in Quetta. The attack took place on Faqeer Muhammad, during which two other policemen were injured, along with the child, police have said. No one has been arrested in connection with the attack and an investigation is underway. There have been numerous attacks on security forces in Balochistan in the past few months.
Travellers in Quetta are advised to monitor local media sources to remain apprised of any security operations in their area. Due to the high threat from terrorism, clients recommended to maintain a high level of vigilance and immediately report any suspicious items or activity to security forces. Travellers should minimise non-essential travel in areas with high levels of sectarian violence and time spent in the vicinity of security forces patrols and checkpoints as these are frequently targeted in attacks.
