Summary

A suicide bombing at Quetta railway station in Pakistan’s Balochistan province killed at least 25 people and injured around 50 as the Jaffar Express prepared to depart.

The Balochistan Liberation Army, a separatist group, claimed responsibility, stating it targeted a military unit. Among the casualties were 14 soldiers.

This attack is part of a recent surge in violence in Balochistan, fueled by demands for independence and resource control.

Pakistani officials condemned the bombing, pledging to bring the perpetrators to justice. Balochistan, rich in resources but underdeveloped, remains a hotspot of regional instability.
