Deadly Suicide Blast at Pakistan Train Station Claimed by Militants

A suicide bombing at a train station in Quetta, southwestern Pakistan, killed at least 24 people and injured 53 others. The Baloch Liberation Army, a separatist militant group, claimed responsibility for the attack. The explosion occurred on a crowded platform, prompting security forces to cordon off the area and initiate an investigation. The attack is part of a long-running insurgency in Balochistan, which has intensified with the development of the Gwadar port under China's Belt and Road Initiative.
