Three policemen including a senior officer were killed and another injured Friday in two back-to-back blasts in Pakistan’s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, officials said.

The blasts occurred in the Hangue district of the province, according to the police.

The initial explosion targeted the Ghulmina police check-post, spreading panic in the area.

Upon receiving information about the blast, Superintendent of Police (SP) Operations Asad Zubair, accompanied by a heavy contingent of police, proceeded to inspect the site.

Their vehicle was struck by a remote-controlled bomb, killing SP Zubair and two other police officers on the spot, while injuring another officer. The injured policeman was shifted to a nearby hospital, where his condition is reported to be critical.
