Two soldiers were killed and another seriously injured in a landmine blast in Balochistan on Friday, officials said. A banned militant group representing tribesmen seeking more profits from the region's natural resources claimed responsibility for the attack in Manjra Taratani area, 450 kilometres (270 miles) south-east of Quetta.
The soldiers were accompanying a minesweeping team when the blast happened, security officials told AFP. "We laid the landmine in Manjra Taratani area," Beeberg Baloch, a spokesman for the Balochistan Liberation Army, told AFP by telephone.
