60 killed, over 100 injured in terror attack on Pak police academy

The overnight attack on a police training academy in Pakistan’s restive Quetta city has left over 60 cadets besides three militants dead, with 118 injured, making it one of the deadliest strikes in the country this year.

The attack on the Police Training College on Saryab Road in the Balochistan province capital began at around 11.10pm last night, triggering an operation by Pakistani security forces who rescued hundreds of cadets from the academy.

“More than 60 police cadets were killed in the attack while about 115 were injured,” a security source said.
