Pakistani police say at least five people have been killed in an ambush on a cricket match in the southwestern city of Quetta.

Police say the five - described as young men - were gunned down Friday by unidentified attackers on a motorcycle.

At least three other people were injured.

After the shooting, angry mobs blocked a nearby road.

The region's chief minister, Nawab Raisani, visited the victims at the hospital.

He condemned the killings and told reporters attacks on unarmed civilians will not be tolerated.
