At least eight policemen have been killed by suspected separatists who launched “coordinated” attacks in multiple cities across Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province, officials said.

Several police stations in the provincial capital of Quetta were targeted by alleged ethnic Baloch gunmen in an attack that began at about 3am local time (01:00 GMT) on Sunday.
