At least five people were killed and more than 25 wounded when a
bomb planted on a motorcycle hit a
police van in southwest
Pakistan on Tuesday, officials said.
The remote control-detonated bomb exploded in Quetta, the main town of the oil- and gas-rich Baluchistan province, which borders
Iran and
Afghanistan, provincial police chief Mohsin Hassan Butt told AFP.
"The target of the attack was a police van, which was parked outside a police station," said Butt, adding that the dead included two police officers.
