Pakistan’s counter-terrorism department says police have killed five suspected separatists in a raid on their hideout in southwestern Baluchistan province.
A statement from the department says Monday’s raid took place in the Mastung district.
It says the slain men were members of the Baluch Liberation, a separatist group that often targets police and troops.
The raid came hours after insurgents killed a sailor and wounded two others in an attack on a Pakistani Navy vehicle in Baluchistan.
