QUETTA: More than 110 rockets were fired at security check posts in the Lehri area of Sibi district on Tuesday. “The rocket attacks continued for around four hours. However, no check post was hit,” a source told Daily Times, confirming reports that a private residence was hit in the attack. “The attack caused panic in the area as people started evacuating their houses,” the source said. Reinforcements were also called in from Sibi to assist the forces in Lehri. “No FC check post was hit in the attack and there were no casualties on our side,” Omer Farooq, spokesman for the Frontier Corps told Daily Times. He said that since no check post was directly hit, the forces did not retaliate. Two rockets were also fired on the Sui gas plant on Tuesday. “One of the rockets hit the main gate while the other landed in an open area,” a source said, adding that no one was hurt in the attack. A security check post in Mach district also came under rocket attack. The attack was followed by a gun battle between the security forces and the attackers. “Both sides exchanged fire in the Bibi Nani Ziarat area. Two security personnel, Abdul Hammed and Haq Nawaz, received injuries and were taken to Quetta for further treatment,” a source said. Mineral-rich Balochistan has witnessed near daily attacks on security forces and government installations since an insurgency erupted in early 2005 that has since claimed hundreds of lives.
