A powerful explosion near Karachi airport killed two Chinese workers and injured eight others, including Pakistanis. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility, describing the attack as a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device targeting Chinese nationals. The Chinese Embassy condemned the attack, calling it a "terrorist act" against a convoy from the Port Qasim Electric Power Company. The BLA has been targeting Chinese workers linked to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects, accusing Beijing of exploiting Balochistan’s resources. The attack raises concerns about security for Chinese interests in Pakistan.
