JAKARTA - Two Chinese nationals were shot in the commercial center of Karachi, Pakistan. This latest attack prompted Beijing to demand tighter security for its citizens.
Faizan Ali, senior police inspector, said two Chinese nationals who were shot were injured. Both are being treated at the Liaquat National Hospital.
It is not yet clear who is responsible for or whether militant violence is behind the attack. This attack was one of several attacks that prompted Beijing to urge Pakistan to implement stricter security measures for its citizens.
In October, bombings near Karachi's international airport killed two Chinese engineers in an attack claimed by the Bloch Liberation Army (BLA) separatist militant group.
The decades-long uprising in the southwest by separatist groups demanding the division of regional resources has led to frequent attacks on Chinese governments, soldiers, and interests.
