The unidentified assailants struck in Mir Ali, near the Afghanistan border, a region that has seen numerous militant attacks in recent years.

Unidentified gunmen shot and killed six barbers in Mir Ali, a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban, near the Afghanistan border.
No group has immediately claimed responsibility for the killings.
The incident has shocked local residents, with the victims all working at various barbershops.
Mir Ali served as a base for the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), until the military cleared the area of insurgents.
Pakistan has seen many militant attacks in recent years in the region, where authorities often target TTP hideouts.
