Terrorists fired at a passenger train in southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, injuring a train driver
The attack occurred as the train, which was traveling from Quetta in the southwestern province of Balochistan to Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, came under fire. Authorities have yet to provide details on the extent of the damage or whether additional injuries were reported among passengers.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a militant separatist group, has claimed responsibility for the assault. In a statement, the BLA also claimed to have taken hostages from the train, including security personnel.
Security forces have been dispatched to the area, and an investigation into the attack is underway.
Balochistan, a resource-rich but conflict-ridden province, has witnessed a longstanding insurgency by separatist groups demanding independence or greater autonomy. The region has seen repeated attacks on security forces, infrastructure, and civilians in recent years.
This is a developing story and more details are awaited.
