China on Monday condemned the terrorist attack in Pakistan and reaffirmed its support to Pakistan in fighting this evil.

A bomb exploded at a shrine in Pakistan's southwest Balochistan district on Saturday night, killing over 60 and injuring more than 100, according to the latest figures from the Foreign Ministry.
