The incident occurred in the upper Kurram Agency on Saturday, while in the southwestern province of Baluchistan militants blew up two electricity towers and a gas pipeline, local officials told a Press TV correspondent.
According to the officials, one of the blasts took place near the city of Quetta, suspending electricity to parts of the province. The second incident occured in Dera Bugti district.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks yet.
Violence undermines security in the militancy-hit country despite Pakistani government's claims that the country's military has achieved major gains against Taliban militants in a series of offensives in the tribal areas.
Nearly 4,000 people have so far been killed in militant attacks throughout Pakistan since July 2007, reports say.
