Terrorists attack train in Pakistan; six soldiers killed, 100 passengers taken hostage

ISLAMABAD: Terrorists hijacked a train in Pakistan and took 100 passengers hostage. The train was hijacked by the Baloch Liberation Army. Six Pakistani soldiers were reportedly killed. The incident took place on the Jaffer Express, which was traveling from Quetta in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province to Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“The Baloch Liberation Army has carried out a strategic operation in Mashkaf, Dhadar, Bolan, seizing control of the Jaffar Express by derailing it. During the resistance, six military personnel were killed, while over 100 passengers have been taken into BL.A custody.
Among the hostages are active-duty personnel from the Pakistani military, police, Anti-Terrorism Force (ATF), and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-all of whom were traveling to Punjab on leave. The BLA issues a stark warning that if the occupying forces attempt any military intervention, all hostages will be executed.
During this operation, BLA fighters have released women, children, and Baloch passengers, ensuring that all remaining hostages are serving personnel of the occupying forces.
The mission is being led by the BLA's Fidayeen Unit, Majeed Brigade, with full operational support from Fateh Squad, STOS, and our intelligence wing Zirab,” said Baloch Liberation Army spokesman Gianand Baloch in a statement.

They reportedly entered the train after the train was forced to stop due to a derailing attempt.
