QUETTA, Pakistan—A suicide bomber on a motorcycle rammed a police truck in Pakistan’s restive southwest, killing 10 police officers and wounding 12 in one of the deadliest attacks on security forces in recent months, authorities said.

The newly formed Tehreek-e-Jihad al-Qaeda-aligned group hours later in a statement claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place on a bridge in the Sibi district of Baluchistan Province.
