Summary Some unidentified miscreants torched more than 10 NATO oil tankers near Hub on Sunday.

The oil tankers caught fire after the attack. No one was killed or wounded in the incident. The attacker escaped from the scene after the incident.

The fire also engulfed other vehicles parked at the hotel. The staff of oil tankers also remained unhurt. The RCD Road was blocked after the incident causing a huge traffic jam.

Pakistani contractors had stopped driving oil supplies from Karachi to the Torkham crossing on the Afghan border due to frequent strikes on their vehicles.
