Armed men set on fire five oil tankers in Balochistan's Mastung district on Monday and also kidnapped four drivers before fleeing from the scene. Levies sources said that armed men opened indiscriminate fire on five oil tankers in Kirdi Gap area of Mastung.
The sources added that the tankers were carrying fuel from Karachi for the Saindak Project situated in Balochistan's Chaghi district when they were targeted in Kirdi Gap.
The tankers caught fire as the gunfire ignited the fuel payload, following which the militants picked up four drivers and fled to an undisclosed location in the mountainous region.
Levies and Frontier Corps (FC) personnel reached the spot as a probe into the incident went underway. A search operation was launched in the area for safe recovery of kidnapped drivers, sources said.
