Gunmen shot and killed six construction workers in the volatile southwestern Baluchistan province, according to Pakistani police. The incident occurred in the city of Turbat, about 377 miles south of Quetta, the provincial capital. Two workers survived and were hospitalized for treatment. The workers were part of a private construction project. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Baluchistan has experienced a low-level insurgency by separatist groups, demanding independence from the central government in Islamabad. The province also faces violence from Islamic militants. Despite government claims of quelling the insurgency, violence persists in Baluchistan.
