QUETTA, PAKISTAN — Gunmen shot and killed six construction workers overnight in the volatile southwestern Baluchistan province, Pakistani police said Saturday.

Two survived, he said, and were hospitalized for treatment.No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

Baluch separatists also often target people from Punjab.Although the government says it has quelled the insurgency, violence in the province has persisted.
