Unidentified gunmen earlier today killed two shopkeepers when they opened fire in a congested market in Quetta, the second such attack in a week.
Police said two more shopkeepers and a passerby were wounded in the attack in central Quetta.
“The attackers came on motorcycles and opened fire indiscriminately, killing two cloth merchants and wounding two shopkeepers and a passerby,” Quetta police chief Abdul Razzak Cheema told the media.
Quetta was already tense following the killing of four people in the city on Monday.
Senior police official Aitzaz Goraya confirmed the attack and casualties and told AFP that police were searching for the attackers.
