In a horrific incident, the driver of Jaffar Express shared the harrowing experience of a terrorist attack by BLA militants that resulted in the death of 21 civilians and 4 soldiers. The militants carried out the attack by detonating a bomb under the train engine, leading to a derailment. Pakistani military forces swiftly intervened, managing to rescue 340 passengers following a tense two-day standoff. The military reported that 33 attackers were neutralized during the operation. However, the BLA has contradicted this claim, asserting that they continue to hold hostages from the train. This tragic event has once again highlighted the ongoing security challenges faced in the region.
