The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has hijacked the Jaffar Express in Balochistan, Pakistan, taking over 400 passengers hostage. The train, traveling from Quetta to Peshawar, was forced to stop after militants blew up railway tracks. Six Pakistani military personnel were reportedly killed. The BLA warned of further violence if security forces intervene. The Balochistan government has declared emergency measures. The group, demanding independence, accuses Pakistan of exploiting the province’s resources. Security forces are at the scene, but the situation remains tense. The BLA claimed full responsibility in a statement.
