No group immediately claimed responsibility for the assault, which appeared to be carefully timed to target responding officers. The violence came just a day after another deadly episode in nearby Karak. On Monday, attackers used an explosives-laden drone to hit a paramilitary post, injuring several personnel. As the wounded were being transported for treatment, the assailants ambushed two ambulances.
