At least 24 people were killed and 82 others injured when a train carrying law enforcement personnel exploded in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, according to police sources. The blast occurred around 8:05 a.m. local time on Sunday in a shuttle of the Jaffar Express that had departed from Quetta Cantonment. The train was transporting security personnel returning home for the Eid holidays.
The explosion caused several carriages to derail and set at least two on fire, damaging nearby vehicles as well. Among the dead and injured were women and children, sources said. Of the wounded, 57 were taken to a military hospital and 25 to Quetta’s civil hospital for treatment.
Preliminary investigations suggest the incident was a suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) attack involving more than 70 kilograms of explosives, according to initial police assessments.
