ISLAMABAD, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Three policemen were injured when a bomb went off in Pakistan's northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Wednesday, according to police officials.

The incident happened in the Bajaur district of the province when a roadside bomb exploded near the vehicle of police during routine patrolling, sources from Bajaur police told Xinhua.

The target was the police officials on duty. An investigation is underway, police sources said.

Following the incident, security forces and rescue teams rushed to the site and shifted the injured to a nearby hospital in the district.

Security forces cordoned off the area and kicked off a search operation in the surrounding areas to arrest the perpetrators of the terrorist attack.
