A policeman was martyred in a blast near the Sultan Ibrahim Road in Balochistan\u2019s Khuzdar on Sunday, police said.<\/p>\n

Khuzdar Station House Officer (SHO) Abdullah Pindrani told Dawn.com<\/em> that the deceased officer was identified as Murad Jamot. He was posted as the SHO of the Counter Terrorism Department in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs per initial reports, a magnetic bomb was planted in Jamot\u2019s vehicle,\u201d SHO Pindrani said, adding that further investigation was under way.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mir Hussain Lehri said a passerby was also injured in the incident. The wounded and deceased were moved to the District Headquarter Hospital Khuzdar.<\/p>\n

The blast site has been cordoned off by police and Frontier Corps personnel, he added.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n

Interim Interior Minister Sarfraz Ahmed Bugti strongly condemned the incident, vowing that the \u201cblood of martyrs in the war against terrorism will not go in vain\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerrorists want to sabotage peace in Balochistan by targeting the security forces,\u201d he said, adding that terrorists would not succeed as Pakistan\u2019s forces were determined to eradicate the menace of terrorism.<\/p>\n

Earlier, caretaker Balochistan Chief Minister Ali Mardan Khan Domki sought a report on the blast and directed officials to conduct an in-depth investigation.<\/p>\n

Attacks on security forces deployed for the protection of people are highly condemnable, he said, directing the police to immediately arrest the perpetrator. CM Domki also extended condolences to the bereaved family and prayed for their patience.<\/p>\n

Separately, PPP chairman and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari condemned the blast and expressed heartfelt condolences with the deceased officer\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nation will never forget the sacrifice of martyred SHO Murad,\u201d he said in a statement issued by the PPP, adding that the sacrifices of police officers and security personnel in the war against terrorism were eternal.<\/p>\n

Pakistan has witnessed an uptick in terror activities in recent months, especially in KP and Balochistan, after the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan ended<\/a> its ceasefire with the government in November last year.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, a person was killed and three others, including two police personnel, were injured in a bomb blast<\/a> in the Sohbatpur district.<\/p>\n

According to data<\/a> released by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), the country experienced 34 per cent increase in anti-state violence last month.<\/p>\n

It revealed that KP emerged as the most affected province, documenting 51 attacks, causing 54 fatalities and 81 injuries. Meanwhile, Balochistan recorded nine attacks, resulting in 18 fatalities, including that of 15 security forces personnel and three civilians.<\/p>\n\n
