Pakistan Train Hijack: Pak on High Alert! BLA Militants Blow Up Track, Kill Six Soldiers, Take 100 Hostages, Issue Execution Threats

Pakistan Train Hijack: Days after Pakistan hosted the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, a shocking train hijacking incident has been reported from Balochistan. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for hijacking the Jaffar Express, taking over 100 passengers hostage in Mashkaf, Dhadar, Bolan. The militant group has issued severe threats, putting Pakistani authorities in a critical situation.

BLA Claims Responsibility and Issues Deadly Warning

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist group, has openly admitted to hijacking the Jaffar Express, a major train running from Quetta to Peshawar. In a statement, the BLA confirmed that its Majeed Brigade, Fateh Squad, and intelligence wing Zirab were involved in planning and executing the attack.

The militants blew up the railway track, forcing the train to stop before they seized control. Once onboard, they targeted security personnel while allowing women, children, and Baloch passengers to leave safely.

The group has issued a serious warning, stating that if Pakistani forces attempt any military operation, all hostages will be executed. This has put pressure on authorities, as the safety of over 100 hostages is now at risk.

100 Passengers Taken Hostage, Security Personnel Targeted

Among the 100 hostages, the BLA claims to have captured members of Pakistan’s military, police, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and Anti-Terrorism Force (ATF). Many of these security officials were traveling to Punjab on leave. The group specifically stated that they were only holding members of the armed forces while civilians were released.

This incident marks one of the biggest train hijackings in Pakistan, directly targeting government security forces. The BLA has used this attack to send a strong message, increasing tensions in the already volatile Balochistan region.

Military Casualties and Government Response

During the train hijack, the Baloch Liberation Army claimed to have killed six military personnel. However, Pakistani authorities have not confirmed the exact casualties yet.

In response to the crisis, the provincial government has imposed restrictions and is closely monitoring the situation. Security reinforcements have been sent to the area, and emergency negotiations are underway to prevent further escalation. 

Crisis Deepens as Authorities Weigh Their Options

The Pakistan train hijack has become a major national security issue, with authorities facing a tough decision. While negotiations are ongoing, the BLA’s threat of execution makes the situation extremely dangerous.

With no official confirmation on the exact number of casualties or the condition of the hostages, Pakistan is under immense pressure to resolve the crisis swiftly. The world watches closely as the government decides its next move, knowing that any wrong step could result in devastating consequences.
