Pakistan is currently grappling with an increase in terrorist attacks in the northwestern regions and a separatist insurgency intensifying in the southern areas. A recent blast at the Quetta Railway Station has underscored the growing security challenges the country is facing.

Quetta Railway Station Blast

A blast took place inside the Quetta Railway Station as the Jaffer Express, bound for Peshawar, was preparing to depart. The explosion, which occurred on the platform, damaged railway infrastructure and led to an immediate lockdown of the area by authorities. Initial reports confirm that the blast has disrupted operations at the station, with emergency teams deployed for response efforts.

Responsibility claimed by Baloch Liberation Army (BLA)

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist group active in Pakistan’s Balochistan region, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Jeeyand Baloch, spokesperson for the BLA, stated, “We claim responsibility for the blast at Quetta Railway Station.” According to Baloch, the attack targeted a unit of Pakistani military personnel who were boarding the Jaffer Express after completing a training course at the Infantry School. He further revealed that the attack was carried out by the BLA’s Majeed Brigade, a suicide unit involved in high-profile operations.
