A woman was killed and 14 others wounded in a rocket attack by unidentified tribesmen on a gas installation in the Sui area, officials said on Sunday. The civilian casualties occurred between late Saturday night and early Sunday as angry tribesmen continued trading heavy weapons and rocket fire with authorities, local administrator Muhammad Akbar told reporters.
"Fifteen civilians were injured in the cross-fire, a woman among them later died at a government hospital," Akbar said. The attack briefly disrupted gas supply to southern Sindh province.
