Security forces successfully thwarted a sabotage attempt on the Jaffar Express train in Balochistan, preventing a potential disaster. Authorities said the quick response ensured the safety of passengers and railway staff.
The attempted attack involved explosives planted along the railway tracks, which were detected and defused by security personnel before the train arrived. Officials praised the vigilance and coordination of the teams involved.
No casualties were reported, and train services resumed after thorough inspections of the tracks. Authorities have launched an investigation to identify the perpetrators and their network.
Local officials warned that militant groups have previously targeted railway infrastructure in the province, aiming to disrupt transportation and create fear among the public.
Security forces are increasing surveillance along key routes and coordinating with local communities to report suspicious activity. Residents expressed relief at the prompt action that prevented potential tragedy.
The successful operation underscores ongoing efforts by Pakistan’s security agencies to protect critical infrastructure and maintain public safety across Balochistan.
