QUETTA, Nov 15: Many vehicles were damaged when a rocket hit the camp site of a Chinese construction company in the Tallar area of Gwadar district on Tuesday evening. Chinese engineers and other staff remained unhurt in the attack, official sources said while confirming the incident.

Sources said that unidentified armed men had fired five rockets from the Dahram mountain range at the company’s camp site. Two rockets landed and exploded in the parking area of the camp damaging a number of vehicles.

Three other rockets landed in an open space close to the camp that rocked the entire area. However, no casualty was reported in the attack.

The sources said that the Chinese company was constructing a road so as to link Gwadar with the Turbat area of Makran.

Last month a vehicle of Chinese engineers headed for the camp site escaped a landmine explosion. However, another vehicle ran over the landmine, which had been planted in the middle of the road, as a result of which two people were injured.
