Armed militants have torched a NATO oil tanker and killed its driver in Pakistan's troubled Balochistan province.
The militants opened fire at the NATO container in Dhadar area late last night, according to a levies official.
"The driver was killed in the firing while the cleaner was wounded in the attack," he said.
The official said the militants later set on fire the Nato container carrying oil.
"Roaring flames of fire could be seen from quite far away," he said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
NATO transports 70 to 80 per cent of its supplies to war-stricken Afghanistan via the northeastern Torkham and southwestern Chaman borders, after they were stopped from passing through the Khyber Pakthunkhawa route by the Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf government.
Since then militants have been targeting the NATO tankers in the province, rife with a separatist insurgency and sectarian violence.
Dozens of containers have been charred and looted, and over two dozen crew members killed in Balochistan over the last seven years.
