Three people were killed and 28 others, including at least 15 police officers, were hospitalized on Wednesday in a suicide blast targeting a Frontier Constabulary police truck in Quetta, Pakistan, Reuters reported, citing police.
The explosion, claimed by the Pakistani Taliban militant group, or Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in a text message to Reuters, came after the group ended a ceasefire with the government this week.
"A bomb blast that targeted a police patrol wounded more than 30 people, including 15 police," a police official, Abdul Haq, told Reuters. "Out of them, a policeman, a woman and a child died."
