In a statement, the BLA said it had "targeted a high-level convoy" of Chinese investors and engineers.[28][29] 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.[30][31][32] A statement from the Separatist group identified the incident as a suicide attack and named the assailant, a member of the BLA’s Majeed Brigade, a suicide squad. The group has frequently targeted Chinese nationals in the region, alleging that ethnic Baloch residents are being deprived of their rightful share of wealth from foreign investments and the extraction of natural resources in the province. In response, the Chinese embassy expressed hope that Pakistan would conduct a thorough investigation and "severely punish the perpetrator." Among the injured were a police constable and a woman.[33] Prime Minister Sharif met with the Chinese Ambassador, promising to personally oversee the investigation into the attack.[34]
