The attack by unidentified men occurred on Sunday night on the outskirts of Quetta, the provincial capital of southwestern Baluchistan, a sparsely populated and deeply tribal region of Pakistan.
There have been several rocket attacks and bomb explosions in the recent months in Quetta in which at least 12 people have been killed and many more wounded.
Police suspect Marri tribesmen may have been behind the attack. They are demanding the release of their tribal chief who has been arrested in connection with a judge's murder. But no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
