Two Chinese nationals have been killed and several other people injured in an explosion near Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport (KHI) in Pakistan.

The blast, considered to be a terrorist attack, happened on the evening of October 6, 2024, when a tanker positioned just outside the airport exploded.

Separatist militant group Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attack, telling local media via an emailed statement that the plan was carried out using a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device specifically targeting “a high-level convoy of Chinese engineers and investors” coming from Karachi airport.
