QUETTA: Gunmen opened fire on Pakistani security forces patrolling a remote border region near Iran on Thursday, martyring two troops, a provincial minister said.
Four other troops were also wounded in the attack in the town of Turbat in Balochistan province, said provincial interior minister Ziaullah Longove.
The troops were patrolling the region where smugglers have a strong presence. Pakistan has also stepped up security along the Iran border in recent weeks to check on movement of people in order to contain the spread of the new coronavirus. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
