ISLAMABAD, December 17 (RIA Novosti) - At least 10 people were killed in a bomb blast in the town of Kohat, northwest Pakistan, national media reported on Monday.

Authorities confirmed the attack, which media reports said was caused by a suicide bomber, saying it took place near a school building, but did not specify the death toll.

It is the latest in a series of terrorist attacks in the past few months, which have targeted mainly the army, police, and government officials.

On Thursday, at least seven people were killed in Quetta, southwest Pakistan, by two suicide bombers.

One of the suicide bombers blew himself up at a military checkpoint in Quetta, the capital of the Baluchistan province, and when people gathered at the scene a second bomb was detonated in the middle of the crowd.

At least three members of the security forces were among those killed.
