At least two people were injured and 20 NATO containers were destroyed on Sunday night when militants attacked oil-carrying vehicles in southwestern province of Balochistan.
According to the report, the drivers had parked their vehicles with 20 containers carrying oil and other products for NATO forces in Afghanistan near a restaurant in Balochistan.
When around 10-15 militants on motorcycles started shooting bullets at the containers and fired rockets at them, which caused huge fire in six containers and later covered all other vehicles parked nearby.
One driver and a woman were severely burnt in the fire, the report added.
The attackers escaped from the site immediately after the strike.
None of the militant organizations has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
