The attackers, who were in a pickup truck, intercepted the bus on the outskirts of the provincial capital of Quetta. Several people were wounded.
"The bus was carrying people mostly from the Hazara community who were returning from Quetta," senior police Hamid Shakeel told Reuters.
Ten people were killed on the spot while two died in hospital. There were about 20 people on the bus.
No one claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack.
