“They talked and interacted with us,” he continued. “We gave them field medical treatment an evacuated them to the hospital. They were in moderate but stable condition.”
Security forces have set up roadblocks and are searching the area in order to find the perpetrators. They have arrested two suspects and are checking whether they were involved in the attack.
