At least seven persons were killed in two separate firing incidents in different localities of Quetta city on Monday, DawnNewsTV reported.

Law enforcement agencies reached the site of the incident soon after the incident and shifted the bodies to Civil Hospital Quetta.

In a separate incident earlier in the day, three people were killed and four injured in a firing incident on Quetta's Qmbrani road.
Police said the deceased belong to Bangulzai tribe, adding that the incident appears to be the result of a tribal enmity.

Hateful elements, full of hatred, doing what they are good at - hating.
When will be such killing of innocent people’s on sectarian basis be controlled!!!
Very Sad.
Quetta needs a security revamp. Religious extremists have targeted security forces, ethnic hazaras repeatedly, and now our Christian brethren. This needs stopped. Security forces need to act proactively and protect citizenry from vile religious murderers.
Christians killed? What if they are killed because of a personal dispute? Where is the proof that they are killed because of their religion?
This is the work of Indian terrorists BLA
People died. RIP. By the way don’t call everyone Martyrs. A martyr is one who dies in the process of trying to help another human being.
Rest in peace... you are in a better place !
To the ignoramus, they were killed due to tribal issues. Ask the locals before commenting blindly.
