Unknown gunmen Friday opened fire on people visiting a cemetery in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta, killing five, police said.
The attack took place at a graveyard where mourners were praying for dead relatives.
“At least five people were killed and seven others were wounded when unknown gunmen in cars fired rockets and bullets at people visiting a graveyard,” Quetta police chief Daud Junejo told AFP.
Witnesses told police that about a dozen gunmen arrived in two cars in Hazara Town before lobbing rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) and then opening fire with small arms, Junejo said. The attackers fled after firing, he added.
