Quetta trains services to other regions of the country have stopped after a terrorist attack against Jaffar Express.
According to the railway authorities, no trains will operate from Quetta today to new notice due to security concerns.
It is important to keep in mind that yesterday, the Jaffar Express, who was traveling from Quetta to Peshawar, was attacked by militants, and 500 passengers were taken as hostages.
From now on, 27 terrorists have been killed in the authorization operation, and 155 passengers have been rescued.
The train, which started from Quetta at 9:30 am, was criticized by unknown armed individuals when it went through the areas of Gadalar and Piro Kanri. The train driver was seriously injured in the attack and then succumbed to his wounds.
Security sources report that the operation against terrorists is ongoing, with suicidal terrorists who use women and children as human shields. These bombers have led women and children as hostages in three different places.
Due to the presence of women and children with suicide bombers, the operation is carried out with extreme caution.
Leaders condemn the assault on train passengers
The leadership of the country, including President Asif Ali Zarari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, strongly condemned the terrorist attack against Jaffar Express in Baluchistan and appreciated security forces for their effective and timely response.
The president praised the value of the security forces to rescue Jaffar Express passengers and said that attacks against innocent civilians and passengers were inhuman and condemnable acts. The president said that neither a religion nor a society allowed such disgusting acts.
Prime Minister Shehbaz, according to a separate press release issued by the Prime Minister’s Office Media wing, said the officers and security forces were eliminating the terrorists bravely during the current response.
“Despite difficult land, the moral of security forces is high and are going back to cowardly terrorists with their timely action,” said Shehbaz.
