Sir: At least three unidentified terrorists have been ambushed The Pearl Continental Hotel in Gwadar.
The men are reportedly heavily armed. They stormed into the hotel and opened fire.
Security around the five-star hotel has been tightened. Foreign delegations often stay at the hotel when visiting for work. Gwadar is one of the main centre’s of activity under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project.
Police and FC personnel also reached the scene and surrounded the hotel. The guests staying at the hotel were safely evacuated.
There were reports of some bullet injuries; however, the injured do not include any foreign nationals.
CM Balochistan directed the authorities concerned to take measures for the safety of the people inside the hotel. I hope after this, these kinds of attacks will not take place in the city of Gwadar.
