Bolan
In yet another terror incident in the restive province of Balochistan, at least 18 people were injured after a remote-control bomb detonated on a railway track in Bolan, forcing the train’s engine and seven carriages off the track.
Railway authorities told the media that the injured had been shifted to Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Sibi.
The Jaffer Express train was travelling from Machh to Sibi, when the blast occurred, local authorities said.
“A relief train was dispatched from Sibi to rescue passengers of the train and bring them to Sibi safely.
Passengers on the Jaffer Express coming from Peshawar to Machh were stopped at Sibi and are now being brought to Quetta via buses,” they added.
According to Deputy Commissioner Kachhi Agha Samiullah, the blast was carried out by a remote-control device.
On the other hand, the carriages of the derailed train are being lifted from the railway track.
