HYDERABAD: Various Automated-Teller-Machines (ATMs) belonging to government-run banks were targeted early on Wednesday in a series of blasts in various cities across the province of Sindh injuring many people, DawnNews reported.

Citizens came under the grip of fear and panic as a result of the blasts whereas security forces were on alert and deployed on sensitive installations across the province.

Four ATMs were targeted in Hyderabad. Buildings around the blast sites suffered partial damage with their windows and doors ripped apart as a result of the explosions.

Police found pamphlets belonging to the separatist organisation Sindhu Desh Liberation Army (SDLA) near the targeted ATM on Hyderabad’s Fatima Jinnah Road Branch.

Similar attacks on ATMs took place in Nawabshah, Larkana, Dadu, Ghotki and Moro.

No loss of life was reported in the attacks.

Fear and uncertainty engulfed the residents, ATM customers and employees of the banks.

Another bomb exploded on railway lines near Ghotki causing damage to the track due to which railway traffic in the area was suspended.

A cracker bomb went off near Karachi Electric Supply Corporation's (KESC's) complaint office in Karachi's Gulistan-e-Jauhar area.

Earlier in November 2011, railway tracks had been targeted in various cities of Sindh. Police had found similar pamphlets on the site of attacks.
