Seven trucks belonging to a Chinese company were burned down in Lamu County, Kenya on Sunday. 

No Chinese casualties have been reported, a public relations officer from the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) told the Global Times on Monday.

The trucks are part of a fleet of vehicles belonging to CCCC that is currently building the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor project. 

Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) suspected the attack is linked to Somalia's al-Shabab militants.
