A suicide bomber blew himself up in Quetta, southwestern Pakistan, Sunday, killing three paramilitary guards. 

The bomber targeted Frontier Constabulary guards in the Mian Ghundi neighborhood of the City - close to the Afghanistan border - where merchants traded vegetables.

The Balochistan Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) confirmed that the suicide attack had targeted the Sohana Khan FC check-post at Mastung Road. 

Azhar Akram, a deputy inspector general of police, told AFP that 20 people were injured in the blast, including civilians.

A spokesman for the Police's Counter-Terrorism Department confirmed the toll.

Extremists have been frequently targeting communities or individuals they consider heretical in the country. 

Frontier guards have also been targeted by Baloch insurgents, who have been waging a simmering insurgency for greater autonomy.

Senior Police Officer Azhar Akram said that the attacker had walked toward the checkpoint manned by the paramilitary Frontier Corps on Quetta-Mastung Road, around 25 km south of Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan Province.
