Security forces in Pakistan have killed two gunmen who attacked a convoy of Chinese workers in the country’s southwestern Balochistan province, reports Al Jazeera.
“Two attackers were killed in the operation, which has now concluded,” said Gawadar Deputy Superintendent of Police Chakar Baloch.
Local police official Jawad Tariq said all members of the Chinese convoy and security officials involved in the exchange of fire remained unharmed.
The separatist Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attack on vehicles carrying Chinese engineers in the southern coastal city of Gawadar, where China is building a seaport.
“BLA Majeed Brigade on Sunday targeted a convoy of Chinese engineers in Gawadar,” the armed group, which is banned in Pakistan, said on social media.
