At least two soldiers have been killed in Balochistan in a roadside bomb explosion that hit a paramilitary van escorting a bus of Shia Muslim pilgrims in the Mastung district on Saturday.

The bomb exploded when a Frontier Corps (FC) vehicle stopped to check a parked car in Dringhar area on the main Quetta-Taftan Highway, Dawn News reports.

All the pilgrims on the bus, who were on their way to Iran, were safe, but several security personnel were wounded by the remotely triggered bomb, the report added.
