At least six police officers have been killed in separate attacks on security forces in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta.<\/h4>\n

Officials said Tuesday that 15 members of the security forces had also been injured after three attackers detonated their explosives among police and paramilitary soldiers in Quetta.<\/h4>\n

Provincial police chief Moazzam Jah Ansari said that seven police officers were wounded in a bombing that targeted a police truck.\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4>\n

\u201c… we have a confirmation that six of our police officials are dead,\u201d said Ansari.<\/h4>\n

A paramilitary officer said earlier in the day that troops deployed on two checkpoints on the outskirts of Quetta engaged two assailants who tried to carry out a bomb attack in the locations.<\/h4>\n

Both the attackers died while detonating their explosives as they were shot by the troops, said the official, adding that eight soldiers were wounded in the incident.<\/h4>\n

There has yet to come a claim of responsibility for the attacks, although militants linked to the Taliban, al-Qaeda and Daesh Takfiri terrorist group have carried out similar attacks in the past in Quetta, which is the capital city of the southwestern province of Baluchistan.<\/h4>\n
