A deadly train attack in Pakistan has left more than 30 people dead after a powerful explosion ripped through a shuttle train in the southwestern province of Balochistan, officials confirmed. According to Reuters, the blast targeted a train carrying security personnel and their families, causing massive destruction and derailing several carriages. Rescue teams are still working through the wreckage as authorities confirm rising casualties and fear the toll could increase further.
The attack has been linked to separatist militants operating in the region, though investigations are still ongoing. The incident adds to a growing wave of violence in Balochistan, a restive area bordering Iran and Afghanistan that has long faced insurgency-related unrest.
Officials say security has been tightened as emergency response efforts continue, while families await updates on missing loved ones.
