Chinese Workers’ Convoy Attacked In Pakistan’s Balochistan; Attackers Killed

Two Baloch militants attacked a convoy of Chinese engineers working on infrastructure projects in Pakistan’s port city of Gwadar today.

According to the report, the two militants were shot dead, and no Chinese engineers or other Pakistani civilians were hurt.

Many Chinese are currently employed at Gwadar, the port in the restive Balochistan province that is being linked to China’s Xinjiang province as part of the $60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, or CPEC.

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which claimed responsibility for the attack today, is opposed to Chinese investments in the region, claiming that they do not assist the local people. In the past, the BLA has also targeted CPEC-linked projects.

“Today, the BLA Majeed Brigade targeted a convoy of Chinese engineers in Gwadar. The attack is still ongoing”, the separatist group claimed earlier today in a statement.

Pakistani senator Sarfraz Bugti tweeted, “I strongly condemn the heinous terror attack on Chinese workers convoy in Gwadar. Thankfully, no loss of life happened, but there are reports that the ambush has been repulsed and the attackers have been killed”, through his official ‘X’ handle.

“The ruptures within the militants’ fold are getting wider by the day as our armed forces are courageously thwarting their nefarious designs. There is no reprieve for anyone who casts an evil eye on Pakistan”, the senator added.
