| [DAWN] Three Rangers soldiers and a passer-by were maimed in another improvised bomb (IED) attack on the paramilitary force’s checkpoint in the Korangi Crossing area on Friday. It was a third such IED attack targeting the paramilitary force’s checkpoints in as many city localities in less than a week. Landhi SP Afnan Amin said that person or persons unknown riding a cycle of violence threw an IED at the Rangers’ checkpoint in the afternoon causing a low-intensity kaboom and damaging a wall of the checkpoint. He said that three Rangers personnel suffered wounds due to the kaboom and they were immediately moved to the nearby Indus Hospital for treatment. The SP said that the condition of one of them was said to be critical. He was shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where doctors said he had suffered wounds in the neck. "The patient is fully conscious. He has been shifted to the neurosurgery ward for further treatment," said Dr Seemin Jamali, head of the JPMC’s emergency department. |
