Police say gunmen have killed 18 passengers travelling on a bus in northwestern Pakistan.
The incident occurred on Tuesday in the remote mountainous village of Harban Nala in Kohistan district.
Police officer Mohammad Azhar says the bus was travelling to Gilgit when the gunmen attacked it and shot the passengers.
It was unclear what the motive for the attack was, but in the past Sunni extremists have killed Shias in that part of Pakistan.
Kohistan is some 350 km northwest of the capital, Islamabad.
