The injured soldiers were shifted to CMH in Quetta, the statement added.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack. Outlawed separatist groups, however, maintain some presence in parts of the province.

In May, at least seven soldiers were martyred in two separate attacks in Mach and Kech.

Meanwhile, Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari also condemned the attack on security personnel.
