A senior police officer says over 20 people, including women and children, were riding in the truck, returning from a wedding ceremony when the attack happened on Saturday night. A doctor says five women and four children were killed. Earlier in the day, the Pakistani military said that security forces killed three militants during a shootout following a militant attack on a security patrol in the restive southwestern Baluchistan province.
