BALOCHISTAN: A convoy of Chinese engineers was attacked in Gwadar in Pakistan's Balochistan on Sunday, the Global Times has learned.

The attack occurred near the Gwadar police station in Balochistan when the convoy carrying 23 Chinese engineers was passing the police station and an IED blast took place. Global Times on social media platform ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter, shared a video and informed about the incident. The van which was part of the convoy was shot at creating cracks in the glass. Further details of the incident are awaited.

Last week, at least seven people, including a chairman of a Union Council (UC), were killed in a landmine blast targeting a vehicle in Balochistan’s Panjgur district. With the increase in terrorism incidents in the country, the Punjab Home Department has directed the Chinese nationals living in the province or working with private companies to hire private security companies of 'A' category for their security, the Dawn reported.
