Two Chinese nationals were killed, and at least eight more people were injured in an explosion on the night of Oct. 6 near Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, southern Pakistan, in the latest deadly attack on Chinese in Pakistan.

The Chinese Embassy said it was a “terrorist attack,” and the U.S.-designated terrorist group Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) took credit for the attack in a statement emailed to journalists on Oct. 7.
