Five policemen have been killed in an overnight clash with unidentified gunmen in Pakistan's southern province of Balochistan.
The clash happened on a highway in the Mach area after the kidnapping of a top administration official in the region.
Unknown gunmen kidnapped the deputy commissioner of Jhal Magsi district, Shaukat Margzani, and two guards when they were travelling in a vehicle.
Balochistan has been at the centre of a decade-long separatist insurgency.
The dead in the overnight clash included the head of the local Jafferabad police station, police said.
