Pakistani police said a suicide bomber riding on a bicycle has targeted a vehicle carrying security forces in southwestern Pakistan, killing nine people and wounding more than 35, local media reported on Saturday.
Senior police officer Imtiaz Shah said the attacker blew himself up on Saturday near a vehicle belonging to the paramilitary Frontier Corps in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province.
No one claimed the attack.
Baluchistan has long been the scene of a low-level insurgency by Baloch separatist groups. Islamic militants also operate in the province.
