Islamabad: Two policemen and one militant were killed in firing by unknown militants in Pakistan's Balochistan province on Sunday night, a police statement said on Monday.

The incident happened in the provincial capital of Quetta where the militants attacked "Eagle Squad," a police squad that patrols on bikes across the city.

According to the statement, the squad was on routine patrolling duty when it was attacked, and in a retaliatory attack, one militant was also killed.

The accomplices of the slain attacker fled the scene, and a search operation is underway, the statement added.

Two policemen were also injured in the attack and had been shifted to a nearby hospital.

No group has claimed the attack yet.

Balochistan is Pakistan's biggest but most impoverished province, secessionist forces have been battling the Pakistani forces against exploitation of the province's resources, disappearances of dissenters and excesses by the Pakistan Army.
