In Pakistan, a bomb explosion killed five Chinese workers and their driver. This happened while they were traveling to a big dam project. It's the latest in a series of attacks targeting China's projects in Pakistan.
The explosion happened in the northwest part of Pakistan. A person drove a vehicle into the workers' convoy, causing the blast. This is the third attack in just one week in Pakistan. The country is important to China's plans for building roads and other projects across Asia.
Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack. But it's similar to an attack three years ago when 13 people, including nine Chinese workers, were killed near the same dam.
Pakistan has been dealing with lots of violence from groups like the Taliban. They've been causing trouble since the US left Afghanistan in 2021. The Pakistani Taliban said they didn't do this attack.
China is very upset about what happened. They want Pakistan to find out who did it and punish them. Pakistan's leaders also condemned the attack and promised to catch those responsible.
Recently, there were other attacks in southwest Pakistan, where China is also investing a lot of money. A group called the Baloch Liberation Army said they did those attacks. They want to create problems between Pakistan and China.
China has been spending billions of dollars on projects in Pakistan. But some people in Pakistan don't like it. They think they're not getting enough benefits from these projects.
In the past, there have been other attacks on Chinese interests in Pakistan. For example, there was an attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi and a hotel in Gwadar where Chinese people stay. These attacks show the challenges China faces in Pakistan.
