He said the attackers in their motorcade forcefully gained entrance into a hospital and carted away some drugs.

Another source from the hospital who doesn’t want to be named said the attackers pursued and burnt down the hospital’s ambulance that escaped from the scene of the attack.

He said security agencies only arrived at the scene after the attackers had left.
