Balochistan gunmen kill at least 19 in Pakistan bus raids; A few abducted from on board

Gunmen in Pakistan's restive Balochistan province have attacked two buses, killing at least 19 passengers. The province's Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti said unidentified militants boarded the vehicles travelling to Karachi on Friday evening. Passengers were then ordered off and shot dead. Balochistan has seen a long-running conflict between separatists and security forces. No group has yet said it carried out the attack on the two buses, which happened near the town of Mastung, south of the provincial capital, Quetta. An operation was launched after reports of the incident emerged, and at least five people have been rescued. However, the number of passengers abducted from on board remains unclear.
