At least four paramilitary soldiers have been killed and two injured in a clash with militants in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan.

The military said in a statement issued on Tuesday that the fatal clash happened in Loralai district, which is located nearly 262 kilometers northeast of the provincial capital Quetta, on Monday.

Militants attempted to launch an assault on a residential compound of the paramilitary troops when they were confronted at the entry point, the statement added.

The exchange of fire led to the death of four soldiers and four attackers including a bomber.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Baloch separatist groups and militants have attacked security forces in the province in the past.
