(MENAFN) At least one civilian lost their life and seven others were injured during a militant assault in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province on Tuesday, according to an official. In response, security forces killed two militants.
The attack took place in Mastung district when armed attackers opened fire, killing a 16-year-old boy and wounding seven others, said Shahid Rind, spokesperson for the Balochistan government.
