Separatist rocket fire kills Pakistani police officer, injures a dozen others

A rocket attack reportedly perpetrated by the outlawed Baluchistan Liberation Army separatist group has left a police officer dead in the Pakistani province.

The outlawed Baluchistan Liberation Army quickly claimed the attacks, writing that two of its fighters were killed.

Authorities initially said that the attacks, in the district of Mach in Baluchistan, were foiled without causalities, but two local security officials said at least one policeman was killed and 15 members of the Pakistani security forces were wounded in multiple rocket attacks. The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media.
