A devastating attack has hit the railway station in Quetta, Pakistan, leaving a tragic toll of at least 16 dead and over 20 injured. The explosion took place shortly before the departure of the Jaffar Express, a train bound for Rawalpindi, Punjab, as over 100 passengers waited to board.
According to information provided by local police, the explosion occurred near the ticket counter of the station. Emergency services responded quickly to transport the injured to the Quetta Civil Hospital. Footage from the scene shows panic among passengers and rescuers trying to provide aid.
At this time, authorities have not confirmed the exact nature of the explosion. However, initial investigations suggest that it may have been a suicide attack. At this time, no group has claimed responsibility for this tragedy.
This incident marks a new chapter in the history of violence in Pakistan, where similar attacks have taken place in the past. The Balochistan region, of which Quetta is the capital, has often been the scene of ethnic conflicts and terrorist attacks. The international community is closely monitoring the situation as local authorities work to improve security in public transportation. Despite efforts to ensure the safety of citizens, events like this highlight the persistent challenges Pakistan faces in the fight against terrorism. The future remains uncertain, but it is clear that the need to protect civilians and restore a sense of security has become a key priority for the Pakistani government and law enforcement.
