Officials in southwest Pakistan have confirmed three police officers were killed Sunday in a shooting. According to reports, the trio was patrolling New Saryab, a town outside Quetta in Balochistan province, when armed men ambushed them and fired at their vehicle.
"A police station chief, his guard and drivers were martyred on the spot when unknown gunmen on motorbikes sprayed bullets on a police vehicle," the AFP quoted senior police officer Hamid Shakil as saying.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack and no other details were available. Balochistan province is a volatile region where militants and separatists groups are fighting the government for political autonomy.
