Six Pakistani soldiers have been killed when a paramilitary convoy came under attack by gunmen in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan.
The shooting took place in the mountainous district of Kech on Friday, when soldiers from the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) were on a routine patrol, officials said.
“Six FC men embraced martyrdom while 14 others were wounded in the gun attack,” Zahoor Buledi, provincial information minister, told AFP.
A top official from the FC acknowledged the assault and said that a search operation is underway in the area.
The separatist Pakistani group the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attack.
