Baloch Liberation Army Claims Deadly Attack on Chinese Convoy Near Karachi Airport

Two Chinese nationals were killed and several injured in a bomb attack targeting a convoy, raising security concerns ahead of a major summit in Pakistan.

The Baloch Liberation Army, a separatist group, claimed responsibility for the bombing, which used a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device.
The attack targeted Chinese workers from the Port Qasim Electric Power Company, part of China's Belt and Road Initiative in Pakistan.
Conflicting initial reports suggested an oil tanker explosion, but authorities later confirmed it was a deliberate bomb attack.
The incident raises concerns about Pakistan's ability to secure foreign nationals and upcoming high-profile events like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit.
Pakistan's government condemned the attack, pledging to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the safety of Chinese nationals in the country.
