On 21 April 2021, a car bombing killed at least five people[1][2][3] and injured another twelve at the Serena Hotel, Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan, near the Afghan border.[4]
Bombing
Ziaullah Lango, Balochistan provincial Home Minister said, that the blast took place in the parking lot of the hotel.[5][6][7][8] Pakistan's Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad announced that the primary target was believed to be China's ambassador to Pakistan, Nong Rong.[3] Although the ambassador was staying at the luxury hotel, he was not there at the time of the bombing.[9] Another possible reason given for the attack was that the bombing in the city of Quetta took place hours after Pakistan opened a new border crossing with neighboring Iran, a move that many have criticized. The Interior Minister confirmed that none of the hotel guests were injured, but a police officer and two security guards had been identified among the five victims.[10][11]
Responsibility
The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility, saying it was a suicide attack.[12]
