Islamabad: Funeral of the 11 coal miners, who were killed in a terror attack on Sunday, was held in Pakistan's Machh region on Monday, media reports said.

Police had said armed men took the coal miners to nearby mountains where they shot them dead, reports Geo News.

All the victims of sectarian terrorism were handcuffed and killed in rooms, the news channel reported.

Protests were held in different corners of Pakistan over the killings.

Meanwhile, Islamic State terror group has claimed responsibility for the incident.
