One of the six Chinese nationals wounded in an attack on a cross-border passenger bus in northern Laos Wednesday night left for home by air for further treatment, sources said on Friday.

The Chinese man with a head injury was in critical condition after being shot by unidentified gunmen while travelling on a bus in Kasi, Vientiane province at around 9:00 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Wednesday.

Six Chinese men were wounded on the bus which was on its way from China's southwestern Yunnan province to Vientiane with 25 passengers and three drivers on board.

The wounded driver managed to drive the vehicle to safety and all of the injured Chinese nationals were sent to a local hospital for treatment.

The shooting is the latest violence which occurred in Laos this year. A Chinese national was killed and three others were wounded on March 1 in an attack on a Chinese-invested company by unidentified gunmen in Luang Prabang province.

On Jan. 24, two Chinese were killed and another one wounded in a bomb attack on a bus in Xaysomboun province.
