QUETTA: Three people were killed when unidentified men opened fire on a hotel in the Mand Balo area of Turbat district in Balochistan, Express News reported on Sunday.

According to Levies’ sources, the three men were sitting at a hotel when unidentified men riding motorcycles opened fire on the hotel.

All three men received fatal wounds and died on the spot.

The men, who were reportedly from Punjab, wanted to enter Greece via Iran illegally.

This is the same area where gunmen killed a group of would-be migrants near the Iranian border in July, killing at least 18 people and injuring another two in what appeared to be an ethnically-motivated attack.
