The Associated Press, citing railway workers, reported that this happened near the ticket office during the departure of two trains. As can be seen from the footage coming from the scene, there is a lot of debris on the platform, traces of blood are visible, and ambulances are on duty nearby.
Responsibility was claimed by the banned separatist group Balochistan Liberation Army, which is fighting for greater autonomy for the province. It is one of several such organizations operating in Baluchistan, which borders Afghanistan and Iran and is prone to frequent ethnic and religious clashes.
The group said the attack was carried out on a Pakistani army unit that had completed training at the infantry school. PM: Criminals 'will pay a heavy price' Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif vowed that the attackers "will pay a heavy price", his office said.
There have been several terrorist attacks in Pakistan in recent years. The Islamic State terrorist group, as well as the Pakistani branch of the radical Islamist Taliban movement, were previously behind some of them. In July 2023, a bomb exploded during an event of the conservative religious party Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam in northwestern Pakistan.
