KARACHI/SUKKUR/LARKANA -- Four people, including two Rangers personnel, lost their lives and 10 others were injured in attacks in Ghotki, Karachi and Larkana on Friday.

A Sindh-based banned militant organisation claimed responsibility for the attacks while police said involvement of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-London could not be ruled out.

Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned the three attacks and prayed for the deceased and grant of patience to their families to bear this irreparable loss. He sought a report on the attacks.

Two Rangers' personnel and one passerby were killed and another Rangers man and a civilian were injured in an explosion near a vehicle of the paramilitary force in the Ghota market area on railway station road in Ghotki.

In Karachi, a young civilian was killed while a Rangers sepoy was among eight injured in a grenade attack at an office of the Ehsaas programme in Liaquatabad.

In Larkana, assailants reportedly riding a motorcycle threw a cracker inside the Rangers Public School. It went off but could not cause any damage to life or property since the school was closed.

The banned Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA) has claimed responsibility for the attacks on law enforcers. A spokesman for the group made the claim in a statement issued on Friday.
