A landmine blast ripped through a vehicle carrying Pakistani soldiers Friday, killing two of them and wounding another in restive southwestern Baluchistan province, an official said.

The paramilitaries, said to be involved in mine-clearing operations in the region, were driving to the town of Dera Bugti when their vehicle hit the mine planted on the road, a local security official said. The official said the mine was planted by tribal rebels.
