QUETTA: Two Pakistan Coast Guard officers were gunned down near Gwadar in Balochistan on Sunday.

Police official Chakar Khan Baloch said the attack was in the seaside town of Jiwani near the Iranian border.

"Two people on a motorcycle targeted Pakistan Coast Guard personnel when they were patrolling in a bazaar of the coastal town," Baloch said.  Two civilians were wounded and hospitalised, he added.

Gwadar, CPEC and questions

Baloch said the two men were working the intelligence unit of the coast guard in Jiwani, about 80km west of the Gwadar deepwater port.

Militants trying to disrupt the CPEC project have killed 44 workers since 2014.

Arvind | 8 years ago | Reply 15,000 army personnel are provided for protecting 3500 Chinese workers employed for CPEC. By the time, CPEC is complete and ready, the whole army will be deputed for protecting it from the militants. Then who will be on India - Pakistan border?
