"Deadly Suicide Attack Claims Lives of Chinese Engineers in Pakistan"

A suicide bomber targeted a convoy of Chinese engineers in northwest Pakistan, killing six people, including five Chinese nationals and their Pakistani driver. This marks the third major attack on Chinese interests in Pakistan within a week, with previous attacks targeting a naval air base and a strategic port used by China. The engineers were en route to a dam construction site in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and the area has been attacked in the past. China has invested over $65 billion in infrastructure projects in Pakistan as part of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Pakistan's military has accused "foreign elements" of aiding and abetting such incidents.
