Grenade Attack and Shooting Kill Six in Balochistan
In Balochistan, there were two violent incidents.
First, someone threw a grenade at a police van, hurting six people.
The Baloch Republican Guards said they did it because they don't like how the police are treating people.
Second, in a separate event, gunmen shot at a house, killing four people and injuring one.
The people who were killed were thought to be connected to a group supported by the government.
These events show that Balochistan is a place with a lot of conflict, where some groups want independence from the government.
A grenade attack in Usta Mohammad, Balochistan, injured six people, including four police officers.
