PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) -- A bomb planted near a house in northwestern Pakistan exploded Wednesday after children playing nearby tried to open it, killing three of them, said police.



The blast partly destroyed the house in Nanger Khani village in Upper Dir, an area near Pakistan's volatile Afghan border, said police official Gul Zameen Khan. Police are investigating why the bomb was placed there, he said.



Pakistan has been plagued by rising violence from a Taliban-led insurgency that has declared war on the government. Many of the militants are concentrated in the country's northwest, but violence has spread to many other areas of the country in the past couple years.



Thirteen police and civilian explosives experts were wounded Wednesday when a homemade bomb they were trying to defuse in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir detonated, said police official Iftikhar Kiani. The explosives were hidden in a milk container planted on a road leading to a military base, he said.
