Peshawar: Unidentified militants shot and killed at least six labourers who were working on the construction site of a police station in Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Friday, police said.

The tragic incident took place in Wana, South Waziristan Tribal District.

The labourers were killed after being shot at point-blank range by unidentified militants while they were in their tents.

As many as 6 labourers, who worked on the construction site of a police station were killed, police said.

District Police Officer South Waziristan Farmanullah confirmed the incident and said that the police are investigating the killings from every angle.
