Unidentified gunmen have stormed two passenger coaches in southwest Pakistan and killed at least 22 people, officials say.

The buses were travelling to the port city of Karachi when they were stormed in Mastung district in the troubled province of Baluchistan late on Friday, Mastung deputy district commissioner Akbar Harifal said.

‘The death toll has risen to 22,’ Harifal said on Saturday.
