        Gunmen killed seven workers in Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan late on Saturday, police said.
        
        Armed men stormed a residence where labourers from eastern Punjab province were staying and opened fire with automatic weapons, police said. No one has claimed responsibility.
        
        In August, Balochistan suffered some of its most widespread violence in years when separatist militants attacked police stations, railway lines and highways triggering retaliatory operations by security forces.
        
        More than 70 people were killed, including Punjab residents visiting or working in the province whose trucks were stopped or were pulled off buses.
