The Baloch Liberation Army has taken 182 hostages following a train attack in Pakistan's Balochistan. The situation remains tense as the government condemns the act.

Militants Seize Hostages in Pakistan Train Ambush

Following a train ambush, the BLA holds 182 hostages in Pakistan's Balochistan. Civilians were released, yet tensions rise as military operations unfold.

Militants hold 182 hostages after train ambush in Pakistan

The Baloch Liberation Army seized 182 hostages after ambushing a train in southwestern Pakistan. They released civilians while negotiations with the government remain stalled.

In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing conflict in southwestern Pakistan, militants have seized 35 hostages after targeting a train, according to local police reports on Tuesday.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist militant organization, has claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that they are holding a total of 182 hostages. The group has issued a dire warning, threatening to execute the captives unless security forces withdraw from the area.
The train, carrying nearly 350 passengers, was ambushed within a tunnel, leaving many terrified but reportedly safe, authorities affirmed. The train's driver sustained severe injuries during the assault.
"A relief train is being dispatched to assist approximately 350 passengers, including women and children, who remain unharmed," confirmed Rana Dilawar, a senior police official in the district.
In response to the hostage situation, security forces have initiated a large-scale military operation, deploying helicopters and special forces to the mountainous region.
An explosion was reported near the tunnel, and security personnel are currently engaged in gunfire exchanges with the militants.
The BLA, which advocates for Balochistan's independence from Pakistan, has asserted the killing of 20 soldiers and the downing of a drone &ndash; claims yet to be verified by Pakistani authorities.
The group stated that among the captives are Pakistani army members and other security officials on leave.
In a statement disseminated via email and Telegram, the BLA announced, "Civilian passengers, particularly women, children, the elderly, and Baloch citizens, have been released and provided with a secure route."
The militants declared, "The BLA further warns that if military intervention continues, all hostages will be executed."
The Jaffar Express, the train involved, was en route from Balochistan's provincial capital, Quetta, to Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa when it came under fire.
Pakistan's Interior Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, strongly criticized the attack, asserting that the government would not negotiate with "beasts who fire on innocent passengers." Shahid Rind, a spokesperson for the Balochistan government, announced the imposition of emergency measures to manage the crisis, though specifics remain undisclosed.
The BLA represents the largest faction among several ethnic groups that have long contested the government's policies, accusing it of exploiting Balochistan's abundant gas and mineral resources without equitable benefits for the local population.
The conflict has led to recurrent assaults on governmental, military, and Chinese interests in the region.
