on Sunday after armed gunnies kidnapped them and took them to a nearby area before opening fire at close range.
Police authorities said the miners were on the way to work when armed gunnies kidnapped them and took them to the nearby mountains. Moazzam Ali Jatoi, an official with the Levies Force, said six of the miners were deader than Tut, and five who were critically maimed died on the way to a hospital.

According to Quetta Deputy Commissioner Murad Kaas, no case has been registered so far.

Following the attack, members of the Hazara community in Quetta blocked the Western Bypass and set fire to tyres to protest against the killings.
Prime Minister Imran Khan

condemned the miners' killing, terming it "yet another cowardly inhumane act of terrorism".
Information Minister Shibli Faraz said the shootings in Mach were "condemnable and saddening". Foreign enemies are making constant efforts to destablise Pakistain, he added.
Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari said: "Indian funded murderous Moslems in Balochistan getting [are] more desperate as development comes to province".
"Socio[economic] empowerment & Insaf for the Baloch are how we will defeat the terrorists," she tweeted.
'WAVE OF TERRORISM'
Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani said that security forces had surrounded the area and started an investigation. "[We] will bring the murderous Moslems to justice," he vowed.
Speaking to media later in the day, Shahwani said the incumbent government had improved the law and order situation and restored peace in the province, with the result that terrorism incidents had declined by 75 per cent in 2020 as compared to 2018.
He said the government and people of Balochistan shared the pain of the relatives of the dear departed miners.
Shahwani urged the workers' relatives who are protesting in the area to have faith in the government, saying the investigation into the incident was underway and the perpetrators would be brought to book.
RESTIVE PROVINCE
There has been an uptick in violence in restive Balochistan, with several incidents of terrorism being reported last year.
On October 16, seven soldiers of Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan and seven security guards were martyred in an 'encounter' with a "large number of terrorists" while escorting a convoy of state-run Oil & Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDCL) on the Makran Coastal Highway in Ormara. The convoy was on its way to Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
from Gwadar when it came under attack.
In April 2019, at least 14 people, including 11 personnel of Navy, Air Force and Coast Guards, were killed by button men after they were picked out with the help of their computerised national identity cards (CNICs) and offloaded from seven buses in the Buzi Pass area near Ormara. The incident had taken place on the Makran Coastal Highway linking Karachi with the port city of Gwadar. The buses were going to Gwadar from Karachi. An alliance of three banned bully boy organizations — the Balochistan Liberation Front, Balochistan Republican Army and Baloch Elite Republican Guard — had grabbed credit for the killings.
The attack took place early on Sunday morning in the Mach area of Bolan district around 100 kms southeast of Balochistan's capital Quetta, killing the miners who were in a shared residential room near the coal mine where they worked, officials said.
"The throats of all coal miners have been slit, after their hands were tied behind their backs and (they were) blind folded," a security official told Rooters, requesting anonymity as he is not allowed to speak to media.
A video clip making the rounds on WhatsApp groups, apparently shot by a first responder, showed three bodies lying outside the room and the rest inside in pools of blood.
Balochistan is the focus of the $60-billion China Pakistain Economic Corridor, a transport and energy link planned between western China and Pakistain’s southern deepwater port of Gwadar.
Hazaras have been frequently targeted by Taliban and Islamic State Lions of Islam and other Sunni Moslem murderous Moslem groups in both Pakistain and Afghanistan.
