Police say a roadside bomb has exploded near a police vehicle in southwestern Pakistan, wounding 7 people.

Police official Ghulam Nabi says Saturday's attack happened in the city of Quetta, and it wounded four officers and three civilians.

No one claimed responsibility, but authorities have blamed ethnic Baluch and nationalists for such previous attacks.

Quetta is the capital of Baluchistan province, where nationalists have waged a slow-scale insurgency for years to demand more autonomy and a greater share of income from the area's natural resources.
