And then, unfortunately, Pakistan was hit again at lower Orakzai Agency in Hangu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This attack killed approximately 25 people and almost 35 were injured badly in an explosion. These explosions put fear in the peoples of Pakistan. These attacks also linked with the Balochistan Liberation Army.

The police officers were identified as Assistant Sub Inspector Ashraf Dawood and Constable Amir, while the private security guard was identified as Muhammad Juman.
According to the report, two civilians, a father and son, named Zahir Shah and Abdul Karim, were also killed in the attack. Three terrorists were killed in the operation by security forces, according to Sindh Police and the army’s media wing.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Geng Shuang during a regular press conference said that the Chinese staff and their families were safe in the attack. He said,
China strongly condemns any violent attacks against diplomatic agencies and requests that Pakistan takes practical measures to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and institutions in the country.
The Deputy Chief of Mission at the Chinese embassy, Lijian Zhao, also said that,
The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan strongly condemns the terrorist attack against the Chinese Consulate-General in Karachi.
This statement clearly said that no Chinese citizens were killed and injured.

I am absolutely clear both these attacks are part of a planned campaign to create unrest in the country by those who do not want Pakistan to prosper. Let there be no doubt in anyone's mind that we will crush the terrorists, whatever it takes. https://t.co/AhPpjsUGEq

The failed attack against the Chinese Consulate was clearly a reaction to the unprecedented trade agreements that resulted from our trip to China. The attack was intended to scare Chinese investors and undermine CPEC. These terrorists will not succeed.
