Summary

A suicide bomber attacked a train station in Quetta, Pakistan, killing at least 26 people and injuring 62, targeting soldiers and railway staff.

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist group seeking independence from Pakistan, claimed responsibility, stating that troops were the intended target.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack, vowing retaliation. The BLA, known for attacks on security forces and Chinese nationals involved in infrastructure projects, has escalated violence in Balochistan.

Recent BLA attacks have intensified, raising security concerns for both Pakistan and foreign workers.
