Tragedy struck in northwest Pakistan as a suicide bomb blast claimed the lives of five Chinese workers and their local driver on Tuesday. The incident occurred when a bomber rammed a vehicle into the workers' convoy en route to the Dasu dam, the country's largest hydropower project in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
This attack is the latest in a series of terror incidents targeting Chinese interests in Pakistan, with authorities suspecting an attempt to disrupt the close ties between Islamabad and Beijing. No group has claimed responsibility for the blast, which follows a similar attack three years ago that killed 13 people, including nine Chinese workers.
