The incident occurred in the Machka area of Rahim Yar Khan district. Bandits launched rockets at two police vans transporting over 20 officers who were returning from routine duties at a local checkpoint, reports Xinhua news agency. The attack took place when one of the vans experienced a mechanical failure, forcing the officers to stop for repairs. This vulnerability led to the immediate death of 11 officers and injuries to seven others.
