Militants set off two powerful Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) to target security forces at Lassana area of Surankote Wednesday morning, injuring seven persons including two police officials and a security soldier, the spokesman said.

He said that the first blast took place at 10:00 a.m. local time when an IED went off inside a parked vehicle as some securityvehicles were passing the road, injuring four civilians and a security soldier, besides damaging a bus and a security vehicle.
