Two Chinese nationals killed in explosion near Karachi airport

Two Chinese nationals were killed in an explosion near Karachi's international airport on Sunday night, which the Chinese embassy labeled a "terrorist attack." The Baloch Liberation Army claimed responsibility, stating they targeted a convoy of Chinese engineers. The blast injured at least ten others, including one Chinese national. Pakistan's Prime Minister confirmed an investigation is underway and emphasized the country's commitment to protecting Chinese citizens. This incident comes as Pakistan prepares for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, which will feature high-level Chinese representation. The BLA has previously targeted Chinese interests in Pakistan, raising security concerns over Chinese investments in the region.
