KHAIRPUR: Six members of the Kalhora clan were killed in rocket and gun attacks in Kingri taluka on Monday evening.

Three victims were burnt alive when their thatched hut caught fire after being hit by a rocket in Bindi village.

Police said the rocket had been fired by members of the rival Narejo clan.

They identified the victims as Waheed Ali, 25, Rajib Ali, 23 and Zain-ul-Abideen. The rocket attack was followed by firing that left another three members of the clan dead.

The victims were identified as Ahsan Ali, 27, Sajid, 22 and Veengas, 25.

The police said the firing — apparently carried out by those who had mounted the rocket attack — left two villagers wounded.

Khairpur SSP Irfan Baloch told reporters that members of the Narejo clan, locked in a long-running feud with the Kalhoras, had carried out the two attacks.

No FIR was registered at the Abdul Rehman Unnar police station till late Monday night.
