According to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, on March 12th local time, the rescue operation against the terrorist hijacking of a train entered its second day. The Pakistani security forces have successfully rescued 190 passengers and completed identity confirmation. In addition, 30 terrorists have been confirmed killed.

On the afternoon of the 11th local time, a train was attacked and hijacked by the terrorist organization "Baloch Liberation Army" near a tunnel in Balochistan province. Railway officials revealed that there were about 450 passengers on board, some of whom were security forces soldiers, according to sources. The nature of this attack is heinous. The Dawn newspaper stated that there has never been a precedent for terrorists to attack or hijack an entire train and its passengers before.

At the time of the attack, the attackers engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with security forces soldiers on board, and subsequently kidnapped women and children among the passengers. The National Radio of Pakistan reported on this situation. Due to the remote mountainous area where the incident occurred, it posed great difficulties for subsequent rescue operations. At present, it has been confirmed that 10 people, including the train driver and multiple security forces soldiers, have been killed, and the total number of casualties among passengers still needs further confirmation.

After the attack, Pakistan Railways quickly responded by suspending all line operations between Punjab and Sindh provinces and Balochistan province, and setting up information desks at surrounding train stations to facilitate passengers' relatives to inquire about rescued personnel information.

A rescued person recalled in an interview that a huge explosion caused damage to the locomotive's engine, and then the attackers began firing wildly. He "saw at least six or seven passengers die at the scene". Another rescued person said that after escaping from the train, they struggled to walk seven or eight kilometers to reach the nearby train station.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning strongly condemned the terrorist attack at a regular press conference on the 12th. Mao Ning emphasized that China firmly opposes all forms of terrorism and will continue to firmly support Pakistan in promoting anti-terrorism actions, helping Pakistan maintain social unity and stability, and ensuring the safety of the people. This incident has once again sounded the alarm for regional security, and this newspaper will continue to monitor the follow-up situation.
