27 Terrorists Killed, 155 Hostages Rescued in Jaffer Express Attack

A major rescue operation is underway following a terror attack on the Jaffar Express in Balochistan, where militants hijacked the train with over 400 passengers on board. Security forces have killed at least 27 terrorists and rescued more than 150 hostages, although suicide bombers are reportedly among the captives, complicating the operation. The Baloch Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the attack, which resulted in the deaths of at least 10 individuals, including the train driver and several security personnel. The operation is being conducted with extreme caution due to the presence of women and children among the hostages, as terrorists are using them as human shields. Communication issues in the remote area are hampering rescue efforts, and train services from Quetta have been suspended. Authorities are also addressing misinformation circulating on social media in the aftermath of the attack.
