"Deadly Suicide Attack Claims Lives of 5 Chinese Nationals in Pakistan"

A suicide attack in northwest Pakistan killed five Chinese nationals and their Pakistani driver as they were heading to the Dasu Dam, the biggest hydropower project in Pakistan. The attack is suspected to be the work of Baluch separatists, and comes less than a week after Pakistani security forces killed eight militants who targeted a convoy carrying Chinese citizens. The Chinese Embassy has requested a thorough investigation and severe punishment for the perpetrators, while Pakistan's political and military leadership have denounced the attack and vowed to maintain security for Chinese nationals working on projects related to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
