Nine persons, including two children, were killed in incidents of violence involving two rival groups in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan province, a Minister said on Sunday.
Provincial Interior Minister Sarfaraz Bugti told the media that the dead include a peace force officer, two suspects and six civilians.
He said members of the banned Baloch Republican Army (BRA) attacked a house in Dera Bugti on Saturday night, killing three women, two children and two men.
On Sunday, tribesmen chased suspected BRA members to Jaffarabad, where a shootout between the two groups resulted in the death of one tribesman and two suspects, Mr. Bugti said.
