A suicide bomb blast in northwest Pakistan killed five Chinese workers and their local driver, part of a convoy heading to a hydropower project. This attack is the latest in a series targeting Chinese projects in Pakistan, highlighting security challenges. No group has claimed responsibility for the blast. Chinese investments in Pakistan, particularly in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, have faced opposition from some locals, with separatist groups like the Baloch Liberation Army launching attacks. Pakistan’s military condemned the attacks aimed at destabilizing internal security and the Pakistan-China relationship.
