this is not the first time that a police car has been attacked in pakistan. just a month ago, on august 22, a police convoy was attacked in punjab province in eastern pakistan, killing at least 11 police officers and injuring 7.

the attack took place in the rahim yar khan area of ​​punjab province, where two police vehicles carrying more than 20 police officers were attacked by rockets fired by militants on their way back to the base after completing their mission. the attack also caused some people to go missing, and the police have not yet announced the number of missing persons.

at that time, pakistani president zardari and prime minister shahbaz issued statements strongly condemning the attack and instructed relevant departments to take immediate and severe and effective actions to crack down on criminals and do their utmost to treat the injured. the chief ministers of punjab and southern sindh provinces asked the police of the two provinces to immediately cooperate and jointly crack down on militants and gangsters entrenched in the indus river basin of the two provinces.

it is reported that since july, there have been many incidents of police being attacked by armed gangs in the indus river basin region of punjab and sindh provinces, and the security situation is not optimistic.
