Two paramilitary soldiers were killed and four wounded in a landmine explosion in Dera Bughti on Saturday, an official said. The soldiers were patrolling a gas field in Dera Bugti when a landmine planted on a roadside exploded under their vehicle."Two soldiers were killed and four others wounded in the incident," a spokesman for the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) told AFP.
A spokesman for the Baloch Republican Army, Sarbaz Khan, later claimed responsibility for the attack. Separately, an Afghan national was killed and 12 people wounded in a grenade attack targeting paramilitary soldiers in the town of Mastung, just south of the provincial capital of Quetta, police said.
"Unidentified men hurled a hand grenade in Mastung's main market at an FC vehicle passing by but it missed the target, killing an Afghan national and injuring 12 others," senior police official Malik Arshad told AFP. He said four of the wounded were in critical condition, and had been taken to Quetta for treatment.
