China condemns deadly attack in SW Pakistan

The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday strongly condemned the recent deadly attack in southwestern Pakistan.

The outlawed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) launched simultaneous attacks early on Saturday morning at more than a dozen locations, including Quetta, Noshki and Gwadar districts, sources told Xinhua.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Tuesday that China strongly condemns the attack, expresses deep condolences for the victims, and extends sincere sympathies to those injured and the families of the deceased.

China firmly opposes terrorism in all its forms, he said.

"Beijing will continue to firmly support Pakistan in combating terrorism, maintaining social unity and stability, and protecting the safety of its people," he added.
