On 7 October 2024, a Pakistani separatist group reportedly targeted a convoy of Chinese nationals at Karachi Airport, killing at least two people and injuring ten others.[9] [10][11]

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist militant group, reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement, the BLA said it had "targeted a high-level convoy" of Chinese investors and engineers.[12] [13]

The regional government of Sindh Province reported on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that a "tanker" had exploded on the airport motorway, contributing to the casualties.[14] [15] [16]
