QUETTA: One Levies man was killed on Tuesday when the convoy of an Arab prince was attacked in southwestern Pakistan's Kech district, DawnNews reported.

According to sources, an Arab prince and his convoy were on a hunting trip in Buleda, an area near Kech district's administrative centre Turbat, under security provided by Levies forces when armed men opened fire at them.

The attackers set one vehicle on fire and also stole the weapons which were being carried by Levies forces and other ammunition in the prince's convoy before escaping.

No Arabs were hurt in the attack.

In an unrelated incident, a man was killed from firing at a petrol pump near the Eastern Bypass in the Duki area of Balochistan's Loralai district.

Balochistan, Pakistan’s resource-rich and largest province by area, suffers from an upsurge in sectarian violence and attacks by separatist militants, who target civilians and security forces alike.
