A bomb attack killed three members of Pakistan Rangers and wounded four others on Friday in Karachi.
A roadside bomb exploded alongside a vehicle carrying members of the Rangers paramilitary force near Safoorah Chowrangi in Gulistan-e-Jauhar after daybreak, officials said.
“Three troops from Pakistan Rangers were killed and four were hurt. It was a remote control bomb,” Sharfuddin Memon, a spokesman for Sindh home ministry told AFP.
Friday’s attack was not immediately claimed by any group.
Memon said the bomb was buried on the roadside and the force of the explosion badly damaged the vehicle.
“Seven personnel of Pakistan Rangers were taken to hospital, where three of them died,” he added.
Mohammad Salim, an office boy in a nearby government office, said he saw the troops lying on the ground with the vehicle in flames.
“It was a loud explosion. I was going to the office and I rushed to the spot where the Rangers were lying on the ground. They were bleeding,” he told AFP.
The attack was the deadliest in Karachi since a car bomb killed eight people, including six police officers, on September 19.
