QUETTA, PAKISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- At least seven people were killed after a group of gunmen stormed a transportation company in western Pakistan, local media reported Friday.

Among the killed were two Uzbeks and one Iranian national, officials said. In addition to the fatal victims, 12 others were injured during the attack. Police arrived and are currently carrying out investigations, but officials said the attack could be sectarian violence.
