Four Pakistani Muslims were killed after gunmen opened fire on them on Thursday in Baluchistan, police said.

Police official Jamil Kakar told AFP that gunmen on a motorbike fired at a van carrying members of the minority Muslim community in the Speeni Road neighborhood of Quetta city, the capital of the southwestern province,
  
"Four people, including a woman, were killed and seven others were wounded," Kakar said, adding that it appeared to be a "sectarian" attack.
  
Dozens of people protested against the killings in Quetta's main Meezan Chowk square and outside the provincial police chief's office, witnesses said.

In a separate incident, gunmen shot dead two local employees of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Mastung, a city 40 kilometers south of Quetta, police official Shakir Ullah told AFP. "A driver and a staff member of FAO were killed and another staffer wounded after gunmen fired at their vehicle," Ullah said. It was not immediately clear why they were targeted and so far no one has claimed responsibility, he said.
