Two trains suspended Following Quetta Railway Station Bombing

The decision to suspend the trains was made in light of the ongoing security concerns

Following Thursday’s deadly bombing at Quetta’s railway station, the Jaffer Express (Quetta-Peshawar) and Bolan Mail (Quetta-Karachi) trains have been suspended for four days, from November 11.

The decision to suspend the trains was made in light of the ongoing security concerns in Balochistan.

The bombing, a suicide attack near the ticket office, resulted in 27 deaths and over 50 injuries.

The Jaffer Express was scheduled to depart at 9:00 AM, but the explosion occurred before it arrived at the platform. A case has been registered against unknown individuals at the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) police station.

Reports indicate the bomber detonated a bag containing 8-10 kilograms of explosives amidst passengers waiting for the train.
