Hundreds of mourners in Pakistan have attended the funerals of three schoolgirls and two soldiers killed in a suicide bombing that targeted a school bus

A suicide attack on a school bus in southwestern Pakistan killed three students of a military-run school on Wednesday, officials said, in the latest attack that underscores the deteriorating security situation in the region.

The vehicle was carrying dozens of children to a military-run school in southwestern Balochistan Province, a region long roiled by rebel activity.
