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]
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.

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]
