 PESHAWAR: A landmine explosion in South Waziristan on Friday killed one person and wounded four others, officials in the tribal region said. The blast took place in Shakai valley, 35 kilometres southwest of Wana, at around 9:00am when a private tractor hit a landmine. Saeed Rehman, the 18-year-old driver, died on the spot while his four co-workers sustained injuries. The wounded were admitted to a Wana hospital, where two of them were said to be in a serious condition. The tribesmen had been returning home on the tractor after working in the fields. |
