Police say a bomb detonated by remote control killed three workers doing a survey for a local oil exploration company in the Dera Bugti. Local police official Mohammad Hussain says Tuesday's bombing near the town of Dera Bugti in the Balochistan also wounded five surveyors. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but small nationalist groups and separatists have claimed previous such attacks in the province.
The latest violence came a day after assailants ambushed a convoy of paramilitary troops, killing six of them in the Awaran district of Balochistan. No group has claimed that attack either.
