At least five people were gunned down, and one other was injured after being offloaded from a Karachi-bound bus on the Coastal Highway in Gwadar.
The Deputy Commissioner Gwadar also confirmed that the incident occurred at the Kalmat area of the Coastal Highway where gunmen opened fire on passengers, killing at least five people.
The victims who came under the attack were traveling from Gwadar to Karachi when the attack took place.
