In southwestern Pakistan, separatist militants from the Baloch Liberation Army attacked the Jafar Express passenger train in Balochistan province, injuring the driver and forcing the train to halt in a remote tunnel. The militants claimed responsibility for killing six security personnel, seizing control of the train, and taking hostages, including security personnel, while issuing undisclosed demands. The incident has heightened concerns about railway safety in the insurgency-prone region, as authorities work to resolve the crisis and ensure passenger safety.
