A huge explosion rocked a road near Karachi airport in Pakistan’s largest city, Karachi, as a separatist militant group claimed responsibility for an attack in the area on Monday.

Two people were killed and ten others injured, local TV channel Geo News reported.
The provincial government of Sindh (south) said a ‘tanker’ had exploded on the motorway leading to the airport.
Meanwhile, the armed separatist group Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) said in a statement that it had ‘targeted a high-level convoy of Chinese engineers and investors’ coming from Karachi airport.
The BLA is demanding autonomy for Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest but poorest province.
The group regularly targets Chinese nationals, arguing that local Baloch people are not getting their fair share of the wealth extracted by foreign investors.
Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority said flights from Karachi were continuing ‘as usual’ and that ‘authorities are investigating the cause of the explosion’.
