Quetta: At least three Hazara people were killed and two others injured when unidentified men opened fire on a vehicle in Quetta on Tuesday evening, sources said.
The sources said that the incident took place on Aspani Road, when the assailants riding a motorcycle opened fire on taxi, adding that three people belonging to a Hazara community died and two others injured in the incident.
Sectarian violence involving Sunni and Shiites, who account for around 20 percent of the population, has killed thousands of people since the late 1990s.
Despite having large reserves of oil and gas, Balochistan remains one of Pakistan s most impoverished provinces, and bomb blasts and attacks on police and security forces are common.
