A suicide bomber rammed a motorcycle into a police truck in southwestern Pakistan on Monday, killing nine policemen, a police spokesperson said.

Mehmood Khan Notizai told Reuters that the attack took place in Sibbi, a city some 160 km (100 miles) east of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan Province.

Hospital officials said at least seven policemen were wounded in the attack, the latest in a series targeting police personnel in Pakistan.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.

It is noteworthy that a couple of weeks ago, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) warned of additional attacks on law enforcement officers after one of its suicide squads raided a police compound in Karachi, killing four people.

In late January, a bomb that targeted a mosque located inside the police headquarters in Peshawar claimed the lives of at least 100 people and injured more than 200.
