The gunmen attacked the policemen, who were on a routine patrol, in the Eastern Bypass area of Quetta this evening.

Three constables were killed instantly, officials said.

Law enforcement personnel cordoned off the area and launched a search for the attackers.

No group claimed responsibility for the incident though such attacks are usually blamed on Baloch nationalist groups.
