An explosion has struck a speeding passenger train in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, injuring at least seven people, according to international media reports.
The train, which was en route to Quetta, came under attack near the Sultankot area, close to the Sindh–Balochistan border.
This marks the latest in a series of attacks targeting trains in Pakistan this year, heightening concerns over rail security in the region.
Initial investigations suggest that the blast was triggered by an improvised explosive device (IED) planted along the railway track.
The explosion caused six carriages of the train to derail, leaving several passengers injured and causing significant damage to the railway line.
Reports indicate that Pakistani military personnel were among those travelling on the train, and it is suspected that the attackers may have deliberately targeted the convoy due to their presence.
