On 23 November 2018, at least 33 people were killed and 56 others were injured in a suicide bombing in Kalaya, Orakzai District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

On the same day, an armed assault on the Chinese consulate in Karachi, Pakistan resulted in the deaths of four people and the three attackers. However, the two attacks are likely unconnected.[1]
