(CNN) -- The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for an attack Wednesday on NATO supply vehicles in Quetta, Pakistan, a spokesman for the militant group told CNN by phone.
Quetta police said 20 oil tankers parked near Quetta were set ablaze, and one person died in the attack.
Azam Tariq, the central spokesman for Pakistani Taliban, said a special squad designated to strike NATO supply efforts made the attack.
At least five other attacks have been carried out on vehicles carrying supplies for NATO forces in the past week, killing at least six people.
The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for two of earlier attacks. Tariq said this week that those attacks were carried out as revenge for drone strikes and NATO's attacks in Pakistan.
