DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Six Pakistani workers from a Polish oil and gas surveying company have been kidnapped in northwestern Pakistan, military sources told Reuters.
The six Geofizyka Krakow workers were snatched on Saturday afternoon from their vehicles on a road near the village of Drazinda, some 80km (50 miles) from the northwestern city of Dera Ismail Khan, two military officials with security forces in the area said on condition of anonymity as they are not authorised to speak to the media.
One of the sources provided Reuters with the names and national identity card numbers of the workers.
Geofizyka Krakow, which is a subsidiary of Poland's state-run gas firm PGNiG, could not be immediately reached for comment. On its website, the company said it had entered liquidation in August 2016.
No militant group has claimed responsibility for the kidnappings.
