Pakistani paramedics treat injured people at a hospital after an attack by militants in Quetta, August 16, 2013.
Unidentified gunmen have killed at least three Pakistani soldiers and injured two others in Pakistan™s troubled southwestern province of Baluchistan.
The attackers killed the soldiers of Pakistan’s Frontier Corps in the Proom area of Panjgur district in the early morning, military spokesman Khan Waseeh said on Saturday, adding that “Three soldiers were killed and two other injured.”
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but Pakistani officials often blame Baluch separatist groups for such attacks.
Some Baloch militant groups say they want greater political autonomy and a share of the natural resources in Baluchistan.
In August, gunmen fired on a checkpoint of the paramilitary Frontier Corps on the outskirts of the city of Quetta in Baluchistan province, killing a Pakistani soldier and injured two others.
Thousands of Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since 2001, when Pakistan entered an alliance with the US in the so-called war on terrorism.
