Three gunmen have stormed a five-star hotel in the restive Pakistani province of Balochistan, killing at least one person, officials say.

The attack targeted a Hotel in the port city of Gwadar, the centrepiece of a multi-billion-dollar Chinese project. Most guests have been evacuated.

The separatist Balochistan Liberation Army said it had carried out the attack to target Chinese and other foreign investors. Militants in Balochistan oppose Chinese investment saying it is of little benefit to local people.
