At least one soldier was martyred in an attack by terrorists on a security forces post near the Wali Tangi area of Quetta, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Friday.
During the exchange of fire, at least three terrorists were killed. The martyred soldier was identified as Subedar Qaiser Raheem.
Another soldier was seriously injured in the attack, added the ISPR.
Earlier on Thursday, Senior Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) leader Hafiz Hamdullah survived a bomb attack with non-lethal injuries, while travelling in the Mastung district of Balochistan.
The bomb blast targeted Hamdullah’s vehicle in the Choto area, while he was going to Mangochar via Mastung Road.
Police sources said that at least 11 people, including Hamdullah, were injured in the explosion. The injured were taken to Mastung hospital but Hamdullah was later shifted to Quetta.
The bomb attack came a day after the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) killed a key IS commander in Mastung district.
