QUETTA: At least two persons were killed and another injured in an incident of firing in Chaman’s Mizai Adda area.

Police said on Tuesday that armed men opened fire at a car on the Maror Saidaan Road which was heading towards village Killi Massayzai.

The attackers managed to flee. The police rushed to the site and shifted the bodies and the injured to a hospital.
