Officials claim that armed men have kidnapped and killed nine bus passengers in Pakistan.

Officials said that nine passengers were killed by armed men after they kidnapped them in Pakistan's southwest Balochistan Province.

Shahid Rind, spokesman for the provincial government, confirmed that passengers were kidnapped on multiple buses Thursday evening.

Naveed alam, a government official, said that bodies with bullet injuries were found overnight in the mountains.

No one has taken responsibility.

In the past, separatist Baloch militants were involved in similar incidents. They killed passengers who they identified as being from eastern Punjab.

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) is one of the most powerful insurgents operating in a mineral rich region bordering Afghanistan and Iran.

The Baloch militants accuse the authorities of Pakistan of stealing resources from their region to finance spending in Punjab Province.
