DERA MURAD JAMALI: Unknown armed men shot and killed three labourers and injured four others in Tehsil Tambo of Balochistan’s Nasirabad district early Monday.

Station House Officer PS Khan Kot Abid Ali Bangulzai told APP that the labourers working on a road project in Tehsil Tambo were asleep at night when the armed men riding bikes came and opened indiscriminate fire on them, leaving three of them dead and four others injured.
