Seven people were killed in an armed attack on a bus heading to Lahore in the Balochistan province, southwest Pakistan.
Authorities said that a group of around 40 armed men stopped several buses and other vehicles near Rakhani, on the Barkhan-Dera Ghazi Khan Highway.
Barkhan Deputy Commissioner Waqar Khurshid Alam said, "armed men offloaded seven passengers from a coach after checking their identity cards and killed them."
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the motives for the killings remain unclear.
Pakistani authorities have imposed a security cordon around the area, but the attackers managed to escape.
