CHAMAN: A security officer was killed and another injured after gunmen opened fire on a polio vaccination team in the Roghani area of Chaman, officials confirmed.
Police said the health workers themselves were unharmed, though the attack sent shockwaves through the local community, highlighting the persistent dangers faced by those involved in public health campaigns in the region. The assailants managed to flee the scene immediately after the shooting, prompting security forces to launch a search operation in the surrounding areas to apprehend them.
Local authorities described the attack as a stark reminder of the risks that accompany vaccination efforts, particularly in districts where terrorist activity remains a concern. Officials expressed deep concern over the targeting of security personnel tasked with protecting vital health services, emphasizing that such violence undermines efforts to combat preventable diseases.
