A blast targeting a train carrying military personnel killed at least 24 people on Sunday in Pakistan’s turbulent southwestern province of Balochistan, a senior official said.
Army servicemen and their relatives were among the victims of the attack in the provincial capital Quetta, with over 50 people wounded, the official told AFP.
The attack, claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) militant group, was branded a “cowardly” act of terrorism by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Images showed a mangled train carriage on its side as people clambered over the wreckage to find survivors.
People could be seen carrying blood-soaked victims on stretchers away from a derailed car, while armed security forces stood guard.
The train was going from Quetta to Peshawar in Pakistan’s northwest.
