Mastung: At least three people died when a vehicle, in which they were travelling, was hit by a landmine  in Pakistan's Mastung district on Friday, media reports said on Monday.

The blast in the Balochistan district left five people hurt.

Assistant Commissioner Dasht Fareeda Tareen told Dawn.com, that the blast targeted people who were visiting the Kabo area to collect the body of a tubewell operator who was killed on Thursday night.

"The operator was murdered last night and his body was abandoned at a deserted place nearby," she said, adding that the vehicle carrying the deceased's relatives hit a landmine, thus causing casualties.

She said authorities were facing difficulties to reach the area due to landmines planted by "certain elements".
