13 people died when a bus crashed into a ravine near the Dasu hydropower plant. Pakistan initially said the cause was the result of a mechanical failure but then said it could not rule terrorism out.

Keqiang described the incident as a terrorist attack in his call with Khan.

In a press briefing in Beijing, the foreign ministry said they were sending investigators to assist Pakistan into the inquiry. “Today China will send a cross-departmental joint working group to Pakistan to help with relevant work,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian had said at a media briefing in Beijing.

On Friday, a Chinese journalist Shen Shiwei tweeted a video of the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan visiting the site of the Dasu bus blast.
