At least five people have been killed and more than two dozen others have been injured in an attack by militants on a police office in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan.

The office of the deputy police inspector in Loralai district experienced a short period of armed upheaval on Tuesday when four assailants carrying guns and grenades attacked the building.

A group of candidates were sitting for a police entrance exam when the assault took place. Local security officials said four policemen and one of the candidates were killed.

Ataullah, a senior police officer, said that the “army, Frontier Corps and police are conducting search operations in the area” for the gunmen.

The Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.
