A bomb blast hit a paramilitary convoy on Tuesday in southwest Pakistan, killing four soldiers and wounding 10 others, a government official said.
A separatist group, the Baloch Liberation Army, said in an email sent to Reuters it carried out the attack and said 10 soldiers were killed.
The homemade bomb had been planted along a road in an area about 180 km (113 miles) northeast of Quetta, the capital of southwestern Balochistan province that borders Afghanistan and Iran, Assistant Commissioner Sana Mahjbeen Umrani said.
