Four men with unknown intentions have opened fire at Pearl Continental hotel in Gwadar, Pakistan. No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks yet.
ISLAMABAD: “Up to four armed men entered the Pearl Continental hotel in Gwadar and opened fire,” Balochistan provincial home minister Ziaullah Langu told AFP by telephone.“However, there are reports of a few people sustaining minor injuries,” he added.
“There were no Chinese or Pakistani guests in the hotel”, he said, adding that only staff were present in the building.The attack came three weeks after separatist gunmen targeting naval and security forces killed 14 people after forcing them off buses in Balochistan. Pakistani security forces have been targeting insurgents in the province since 2004, and have also been repeatedly accused by international rights groups of abuses there. The military denies the allegations.
The massive infrastructure project seeks to connect the western Chinese province of Xinjiang with Gwadar, on the Arabian Sea.
