Bomb blast wounds three soldiers in Gwadar

QUETTA: A roadside bomb targeting a paramilitary vehicle in Pakistan's southwest wounded three soldiers, police said.

Police official Mohammed Aslam Bangalzai said Tuesday's attack happened in Gwadar, a port city in the southwestern province of Balochistan.

He said the bomb was believed to be attached to a motorcycle.

No group immediately claimed responsibility. But Balochistan has long been the scene of a low-level insurgency which aims to win more autonomy for the province and a greater share of the money derived from its natural resources.
