Islamabad –   The incident took place at around 9:00 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) when an anti-terrorism force mobile unit was passing through the area, sources from Quetta police told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

The injured policemen were shifted to a nearby hospital for medical treatment, and security forces have cordoned off the area while an investigation is underway. No group has claimed the attack yet.
