According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), a policeman – identified as Head Constable Allah Nawaz – was killed in the attack, while two more police constables were injured.
Initial reports suggested three civilians were also injured in the early morning assault, which took place while exams for the police force were being conducted.
The attack on the police lines comes weeks after two personnel of the Frontier Corps (FC) were martyred in a terrorist attack in the Hernai area of Balochistan on Eid-ul-Fitr.
