A security official told DawnNews that unidentified miscreants targeted the convoy of Frontier Corps, a paramilitary force, in Mand tehsil of Kech district.

The vehicle was destroyed due to the intensity of the blast, the official said.

The intensity of blast completely destroyed the vehicle of FC personnel.
