On Thursday, robbers armed with guns and rocket-propelled grenades ambushed a police convoy in Pakistan, resulting in the deaths of at least nine officers and injuries to others, according to the police and the interior ministry. The incident occurred in the southern Pakistani district of Rahim Yar Khan. A police statement revealed that the robbers targeted two police patrols near the border of two provinces. Both the interior ministry and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the attack and instructed the police leadership to swiftly pursue and apprehend the perpetrators. The interior ministry reported 11 deaths, while the police confirmed nine and awaited further details. The border region is deemed off-limits for citizens due to the lack of control by police and other law enforcement agencies, making it a safe haven for numerous gangs.
