At least 20 labourers were abducted by armed men in the Musakhel region of Pakistan.
As per the police, gunmen opened fire on the camp of the labourers working for a gas company, set ablaze eight bulldozers and took away over 20 labourers with them, reported The News International.
The incident came to light just hours after seven labourers were shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Panjgur district of the country.
Both the Musakhel and Panjgur incidents reflect the security challenges faced by the province which has witnessed the brunt of terrorist attacks, along with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, amid the increase in terrorist incidents faced by the country in recent months, The News International reported.
Recently, in another incident, 23 passengers were killed after being offloaded from buses and trucks in the Rarasham area of Muskhel district.
