A suicide bombing aimed at a vehicle carrying Chinese nationals in south-western Pakistan killed two children and wounded three on Friday, police said. The suicide blast occurred at the East Bay Road in the port of Gwadar around 7pm.<b> </b>The Chinese nationals sustained minor injuries, a police statement said. Gwadar is in the province of Balochistan, where separatist militants have <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/asia/2021/07/15/pakistan-bus-blast-nine-chinese-workers-among-13-killed-in-bus-bombing/" target="_blank">waged a long-running insurgency.</a> “Two children have been killed and three injured in the attack,” said Liaquat Shahwani, a spokesman for the Balochistan government. The Balochistan Liberation Army, a separatist militant organisation, claimed responsibility for the attack. “BLA carried out a 'self-sacrificing' attack against a convoy of Chinese engineers,” the group announced. China is involved in the development of the Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea as part of a $60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which is itself part of China's Belt and Road infrastructure project. Pakistan's Interior Ministry said that a young boy ran out of a nearby fishermen's colony and detonated a bomb he was carrying about 15-20 metres from the convoy. The four vehicles carrying the Chinese nationals had been escorted by soldiers and police. Pakistan had already begun a comprehensive review of the security of Chinese nationals in the country, the ministry statement added. In July, an attack on a bus in the north-western province of Khyber-Paktunkhwa killed 13 people, including nine Chinese workers. Two Pakistani soldiers were also killed
