Four laborers were shot dead by unidentified assailants in the Mangochar area of Kalat district, Balochistan, while working on a tube well project, and four police officers were martyred in Noshki.
According to Mangochar Assistant Commissioner Ali Gul Imrani, armed men on motorcycles opened fire at the laborers in the Malangzai location and fled the scene. The deceased workers, all hailing from Sadiqabad, Punjab, have been identified as Munawar Hussain, Zeeshan, Dilawar Hussain, and M. Amin.
