At least 10 gunmen have torched 29 Nato oil tankers in south-west Pakistan, police said.

The attack is one of several on the supply line for the US and Nato forces in neighbouring Afghanistan since Pakistan closed a key border crossing on September 30.

Deputy Commissioner Abdul Mateen said the attack occurred early on Saturday in Mithri town of south-western Baluchistan province.
