Thursday, May 28Thursday, May 28A suicide car bomb attack on a military train in Pakistan’s Balochistan province kills at least 30 people and injures over 100. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claims responsibility for the explosion, which targets a train carrying soldiers and their families near Quetta, the provincial capital.
The blast occurs when an explosives-laden vehicle rams into the train as it passes through a residential military zone. The force of the explosion derails the locomotive and several carriages, trapping passengers and complicating rescue efforts. Local police confirm 29 to 30 fatalities, with 102 to 103 injured, though earlier reports cited lower figures Digi24, Die Presse.
The BLA, a separatist militant group active in Balochistan, has long targeted Pakistani security forces. This attack marks one of the deadliest in the region this year, escalating tensions in a province plagued by insurgency and resource disputes. Authorities have launched a search for suspects, though no immediate arrests are reported.
Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest but least developed province, remains a flashpoint for violence, with the BLA and other groups demanding greater autonomy and a share of the region’s mineral wealth. The attack follows a pattern of high-profile strikes against military and civilian infrastructure, including a 2025 bombing that killed 18 soldiers in the same province.
