QUETTA: Dozens of militants armed with guns and rockets stormed a police station and set fire to two banks in restive south-western Pakistan on Tuesday (July 1), killing a boy and wounding nine others before fleeing, officials said.

The boy died when the attackers fired on civilians indiscriminately during the attacks in Mastung, a district in Balochistan province, said Jan Mohammad, a local government administrator.
