At least two people have been killed and six others injured in separate instances of violence in Pakistan, amid deteriorating security conditions in the country.

Pro-Taliban militants killed at least two people and injured three others at a construction site in Barkhan in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province, a Press TV correspondent reported.

Security forces have cordoned off the area and have transferred the injured to a local hospital.

In a separate development on Monday, a roadside bomb blast wounded at least three security officers in the Pakistani city of Tank.

Also on Monday, Pakistani police recovered at least eight dead bodies from a dry well in eastern Punjab province. The men were reportedly killed a few days ago.

Over the past three years, nearly 4,000 people have been killed in militant attacks and bombings across the country.
