Attacks in Pakistan kill 6 troops, 2 policemen -- officials

CAIRO – 3 July 2018: Attacks in Pakistan on Monday killed six members of the country's paramilitary force and two policemen, ABC News reported.

In southwestern Baluchistan province, gunmen ambushed a convoy of paramilitary troops and wounded two in an ambush on a security convoy in the country's southwest.

Later Monday, an attack in the country's North Waziristan region left two policemen dead.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but blame will likely fall on Baluch separatists fighting in the region.

Islamic militants also operate in Baluchistan province, which has been the scene of low level insurgency for over a decade. The separatists demand a larger share of provincial resources or complete autonomy from Islamabad.
