ISLAMABAD — Two Chinese nationals were killed in an explosion near the international airport of the southern Pakistani city of Karachi on Sunday night, the Chinese embassy in Pakistan said, in what it described as a "terrorist attack."
The Chinese embassy said a convoy from the Port Qasim Electric Power Company was attacked near the airport.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a Chinese national was also injured and that an investigation was underway.
