Balochistan: 4 Pakistani troops killed, 3 injured as roadside bomb targeting security vehicle explodes

Four Pakistani troops were killed while three others sustained serious injuries as a powerful roadside bomb exploded near a vehicle carrying security personnel in Pakistan's restive southwest on Friday. According to a local police chief, Naveed Ahmad, the attack occurred in Quetta, the capital of the Balochistan province. While no group has taken responsibility for the attack, suspicion is likely to fall on ethnic Baloch separatists, who are reported to be frequently targeting the security forces in the province.
