On Sunday, September 22, a car escorting a group of foreign diplomats, including Russian Ambassador Alexander Khorev, was blown up in Pakistan.

This was reported by the Russian Embassy in Pakistan, writes “Apostrophe”.

The Russian diplomat was taking part in the Tourism Development Forum organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad.

The incident occurred on the way to the hotel from the city of Mingora: the escort car was blown up by a mine.

It is noted that the diplomats were not injured. Pakistani media reports that a policeman was killed and three others were injured.

The publication recalls that at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Pakistani authorities stated that Russia and Ukraine should resolve their mutual differences through “peaceful dialogue”. In 2023, Pakistan ordered Russian oil at a discount for the first time under a new agreement concluded between Islamabad and Moscow. And in 2024, Russia became the main supplier of grain to this country.
