On 26 March 2024, in Bisham Tehsil, Shangla District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, a suicide bomber attacked a bus transporting five Chinese engineers and their Pakistani driver on their way to the Dasu Dam, killing all of them.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The bomber rammed an explosive-filled car into the bus that was travelling from Islamabad to Kohistan on the Karakoram Highway.[7]
No group has taken responsibility for the attack.[4]
On 29 March, Chinese investigators arrived in Pakistan to join a probe into the attack.[8]
This was the third attack on Chinese interests in Pakistan in the past week, as a Pakistani naval base and a port used by China were also attacked by Baloch separatists. The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan told Chinese nationals in Pakistan to stay alert.[9]
Aftab Khan Sherpao, Central Chairman of Qaumi Watan Party, expressed concern in a tweet, saing that the attack was "proof of the rising tide of terrorism."[citation needed]
On 1 April, Pakistani police said that they had arrested 12 people in connection with the attack.[10]
