Commando forces killed three assailants bunkered on the fourth floor.
People look at the Pear Continental Hotel after an attack Saturday killed a Pakistani navy soldier and four hotel employees. Three attackers were killed in a gun battle with a commando team, officials said.
Gwadar, on the Balochistan seacoast, is the hub of a multibillion-dollar Chinese infrastructure project in Pakistan and a high-security priority for the government. The attack came several weeks after 14 Pakistani troops were ambushed and killed on a highway through the region. That attack was also claimed by militant separatists.
The commando team opened special entry points into the fourth floor, officials said, and shot and killed all three attackers. Pakistani navy soldier Abbas Khan was killed in that encounter.
