At least 26 people have been killed after their vehicle hit a landmine

in south-western Pakistan province of Balochistan, officials say.

Several people were also injured in the explosion in Dera Bugti,

about 300 km (180 miles) from Quetta.

It is not yet clear who is behind the attack on the vehicle

carrying people to a wedding party, officials said.

Gas-rich Balochistan has seen months of violence as tribal

groups push for greater political and economic rights.

Tribal separatists have been pushing for greater political and

economic rights and have attacked gas plants, electricity lines and railway

tracks.

Attacks

Officials said the vehicle was carrying a wedding party when it

hit at least one anti-tank mine near the town of Rakhni, a local

official said.

" Most of the dead are women

(Ve, Mo) and children (Me). Seven people

were injured, " a spokesman for the Baluchistan provincial

government, Raziq Bugti, told Reuters news agency.
