Gunmen on a motorbike opened fire on a car carrying two Chinese workers in Pakistan's port city of Karachi on July 28, wounding them before fleeing the scene.
Police officer Fida Hussain Jauhari told RFE/RL's Radio Mashaal that a third person in the vehicle appeared to be unharmed.
Police say the motive behind the attack was not immediately clear.
An initial police report said one of the Chinese men -- listed in serious condition with three gunshot wounds -- was a nuclear engineer working at the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant.
But a later police report identified both Chinese men as "factory workers," omitting the reference to the nuclear power plant.
The Karachi nuclear plant has been undergoing an expansion since 2015 under a $10 billion project financed by China -- the biggest energy and infrastructure investor in Pakistan. Two new nuclear reactors there are scheduled to go online in 2021 and 2022.

Karachi is the capital of Pakistan's southern Sindh Province, also is home to several other Chinese-funded construction projects.
The incident comes weeks after a bus carrying 40 Chinese workers fell into a ravine in northwest Pakistan, killing nine Chinese and three Pakistanis.
Pakistani Foreign Ministry initially had said the accident occurred after a mechanical failure, resulting in "the leakage of gas that caused a blast."
But investigators later concluded that the bus driver had lost control after a suicide car bomber set off his explosives prematurely nearby.
The attack took place in Upper Kohistan, a district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province that borders restive Afghanistan.
China has invested billions of dollars into Pakistan in recent years, but Chinese-funded projects have triggered discontent among some separatist groups who say local communities benefit little from the projects.
