(ROUGH CUT- NO REPORTER NARRATION)
A roadside bomb exploded in Pakistan's restive south-western city of Quetta on Tuesday (May 1), killing at least two people and wounding nearly eight others, local media reported.
Media sources, citing police officials, said a vehicle of Frontier Constabulary (FC) was the target and the bomb was either planted by the road or on a vehicle, and that it was apparently detonated by a remotely controlled device.
Two vehicles were badly damaged and four rickshaws caught fire following the blast.
Rescue teams reached the spot and law enforcement agencies cordoned off the area launching search operation.
The bodies were yet being identified at the hospital.
No-one claimed responsibility for the attack.
Baluch militants have been waging a low-level insurgency for decades for more autonomy and control over the natural resources of their impoverished region.
The activists often target government installations, security forces, gas pipelines, railway tracks and electricity pylons.
Islamist militants linked to al Qaeda and Taliban are also active in the strategic region that borders Afghanistan and Iran
