Summary

Two Chinese nationals were shot at a factory in Karachi, Pakistan, following an argument with a security guard who opened fire. Both were taken to a hospital, with one in critical condition.

The shooter’s motive remains unclear, and details about the victims were not disclosed. This incident follows an October bombing near Karachi’s airport that killed two Chinese engineers, an attack claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army.

China has urged Pakistan to enhance security for its nationals, many of whom work on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor projects, amid increasing attacks on Chinese interests in Pakistan.
