Death toll rises to 26 in Quetta Railway Station blast, 62 injured
At least 26 people were killed and 62 injured after a suicide blast ripped through a Quetta Railway Station on Saturday, local authorities and hospital officials said.
The incident comes a week after a bomb blast near a girl’s school and a hospital in Balochistan’s Mastung district killed eight people, including five children.
Pakistan, particularly the Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, has seen a sharp uptick in terrorism-related incidents over the past year.
While speaking to Dawn.com, provincial health department spokesperson Wasim Baig said that the death toll rose to 26 after two people succumbed to their injuries while 62 others were injured in the explosion.
Quetta Division Commissioner Hamza Shafqaat said that the blast was a “suicide attack” primarily on law enforcement agencies, while civilians were also targeted.
Shafqaat added that gatherings have been banned in the area while bus stations were on high alert, adding that railways have been requested to close the station and suspend train services.
Speaking to Geo News, he said that besides civilians, “some law enforcement” personnel were also martyred.
According to Reuters, Balochistan Inspector General of Police (IG) Moazzam Jah Ansari said, “The target was army personnel from the Infantry School.”
While Baig did not confirm details about personnel to Dawn.com, AFP quoted him as saying: “Fourteen members of the army and 12 civilians were killed.”
Baig, according to AFP, said 46 members of the security forces and 14 civilians were wounded.
According to a list of injured people shifted to Quetta Trauma Centre and Emergency Department — issued by Managing Director Dr Arbab Kamran Kasi and available with Dawn.com — 53 people aged between 20 and 50 years were wounded.
Six of them were stated to be in a serious condition whereas three had been shifted to an intensive care unit.
The banned militant group Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for the blast.
Pakistan Railways had previously announced the restoration of train services between Quetta and Peshawar from Oct 11, after a suspension of more than a month and a half.
Train services had been suspended across the country on August 26 after a key railway bridge between Kolpur and Mach was destroyed in a blast carried out by BLA as part of province-wide coordinated attacks.
Appeal for blood
Speaking to Geo News, Shafqaat said the blast occurred at approximately 8:25am, adding that the body of the suicide bomber had also been identified.
He appealed to the public to donate blood for the wounded, stressing there was a need for it.
The commissioner also urged the public not to head to the railway station, Quetta Trauma Centre or the Civil Hospital, noting that “in such incidents, there is a risk of twin attacks”.
“Right now, we have cordoned off the city and are conducting snap-checking. […] Gatherings have been banned,” Shafqaat said.
Asked if the blast specifically targeted someone, the commissioner said terrorist organisations “attacked soft targets on purpose out of frustration”.
Emergency imposed in hospitals
Balochistan Heath Minister Bakht Muhammad Kakar was present at the Quetta Trauma Centre to oversee the treatment of the injured, a statement by his office said.
It added that an emergency had been imposed in the Civil Hospital and the Trauma Centre, with more doctors summoned on duty.
Earlier, Quetta Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Operations Mohammad Baloch told reporters that “around 100 people” were present at the site, according to footage seen by him.
He added that at the time of the blast, a Jaffar Express train was reportedly ready to depart from the platform for Peshawar.
Police and security forces had reached the site of the incident, according to a statement by Balochistan government spokesperson Shahid Rind. He said the Bomb Disposal Squad was collecting evidence from the site and a report had been sought on the incident.
‘Continuation of targeting innocent people’
Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti condemned the incident, saying it was a “continuation of targeting innocent people”.
In a statement, CM Bugti said, “The terrorists’ target now are innocent people, labourers, children and women. Those targeting innocent people do not deserve mercy.”
According to the statement, the chief minister has ordered an investigation into the blast and contacted top officials in Balochistan.
CM Bugti further said: “Terrorists are not eligible to be called humans. They have fallen from humanity; they are worse than animals.”
Stating that “elements involved in various terrorist incidents” in the past have been traced, he vowed that the perpetrators behind the railway blast would be caught as well.
CM Bugti reiterated the government’s resolve to continue operations against terrorists and pursue them. “We will root out terrorism from Balochistan,” he asserted.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the blast, praying for the deceased and the speedy recovery of the injured.
He also sought an investigation report from the Balochistan government on the incident, the premier’s statement added.
“Terrorists who harm the lives and property of innocent people will have to pay a heavy price,” Radio Pakistan quoted PM Shehbaz as saying.
Acting President Yusuf Raza Gilani also condemned the incident, expressing his grief over the loss of precious lives, Radio Pakistan reported.
Gilani said terrorists were enemies of humanity who target innocent people.
Both Shehbaz and Gilani reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to eradicate the menace of terrorism.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, in a telephonic conversation with CM Bugti, condemned the blast, expressing heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the families of the deceased.
In a post on X, the ministry said that Naqvi expressed complete solidarity with the families of the affectees.
The pair agreed to take joint and effective measures immediately against the anti-state activities in the province.
“Will go to the last extent to establish peace in Balochistan […] The federation will provide all possible support to the Balochistan government in this regard,” the interior minister said.
Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hasan Linjar, while condemning the attack, assured the Balochistan government of “all possible support and cooperation”.
The police in Sindh were also ordered to remain on high alert in light of the terrorist attack, a statement from the Sindh interior minister’s office said.
Rise in terrorism
In 2023, Pakistan witnessed 1,524 violence-related fatalities and 1,463 injuries from 789 terror attacks and counter-terror operations. Overall fatalities, including those of outlaws, mark a record six-year high.
Terror attacks declined by 24 per cent in September compared to August, but they witnessed surges in August and July, according to monthly security reports.
On September 25, at least two policemen were among a dozen people injured by a bomb attack that targeted a police vehicle in Quetta.
Days later, terrorists armed with automatic weapons stormed an under-construction house in Panjgur, killing seven labourers hailing from Multan.
The next day, armed men attacked the camp of a private construction company in the Musakhel district, torching the machinery and vehicles there. No casualties were reported.
Last month, three security personnel were martyred and four others were injured in a roadside bomb blast in Balochistan’s Kalat area.
At least 26 people were killed and 62 injured after a suicide blast ripped through a Quetta Railway Station on Saturday, local authorities and hospital officials said.

The suicide attack, which occurred at Quetta Railway Station, targeted a crowd of passengers, and also resulted in injuries to two members of the railway police, Head Constables Ghulam Rasool Jamali and Bhoral Khan.
Marriott reaffirmed Britain's support for Pakistan in its ongoing fight against extremism and violence, highlighting the importance of unity and resilience in the face of such challenges.

A terrible loss of lives at the hands of the enemies of PK. As the country faces severe threats from our enemies you would think the ISI and the local Police would be on high alert but they see their job to crush the will of the people. At the same time as this happened our intelligence agencies decided that a better use of their resources would be to arrest PTI workers at a Jalsa. Our interior security has no time for fighting terrorism as he is too busy stealing off the pay farmers.

People of Bharat stand in solidarity with our Pakistan Occupied Kashmiri and Baloch brothers and sisters from the tyranny of the Pakisjabis. The state of Pakistan has failed to provide basic human rights to these resources rich provinces of Pakistan and have only used them for exploiting their resources and to destabilize peace in the region at the behest of their American masters.

Russian President Putin expresses condolence over Quetta attack
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday extended his condolences to President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif following a deadly terrorist attack at Quetta Railway Station.
In his letter, President Putin expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident, which resulted in numerous casualties, including women and children, and left many others injured. He condemned the “barbaric crime” and called for justice for those responsible.
“We are determined to continue close cooperation with our Pakistani partners against all forms and manifestations of terrorism,” Putin wrote, reaffirming Russia’s commitment to supporting Pakistan in its battle against extremism and violent acts. He added that Russia would assist in bringing the perpetrators of the attack to justice.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also offered his condolences, expressing grief on behalf of Malaysia over the senseless loss. "On behalf of Malaysia, I extend our deepest condolences to the people of Pakistan, who mourn this senseless and devastating loss,” the Malaysian PM said on X.
Ibrahim also underscored that these acts of violence—targeting both civilians and security forces—highlight the ongoing threat posed by extremism.
“These acts of utter ruthlessness and violence remind us of the relentless threats posed by extremism and ideological rigidity—forces that undermine progress and peace in Muslim societies,” he stated.
The government of Turkey condemned the attack in the strongest terms, extending condolences to the people of Pakistan and wishing a swift recovery to the injured.
"We will continue to support Pakistan in its fight against terrorism," the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a letter.
The international community's reaction reflects widespread condemnation of the attack and solidarity with Pakistan as it grapples with the ongoing threat of terrorism.

Oh, of course, most likely all the victims must have been PTI supporters. I mean, it’s not like Hafiz Sahib himself was up there, hands on the wheel, driving that train to tragedy.
If you’re gonna cook up a theory, maybe sprinkle a little realism in there, just a pinch.
And yeah, apparently, 80% of Pakistanis are overjoyed about the attack, if Atta Tarar’s of PP to be believed. Because nothing boosts national morale quite like a fresh disaster. Makes total sense.

Lol, the thread got shifted to plug in "India" to get more engagement and still, status of cow slaughter in India get's 10X discussions than slaughter of fellow Pakistanis on a Pakistani forum.

BLA took responsibility, that's in news. Rest of your point is all conjecture which even Pakistan news and govts are not claiming. I would love to know your sources.
Anyway, my comment stands as a thread on Balochistan is 2 pages long while random threads about Palestine run into 10s of pages. Canadian Khalistanis have special place for Pakistani posters but have no heart to support or discuss something that is affecting in a state that's literally 45% of Pakistan's landmass.

The message is loud and clear, the Chinese and the Pakistan army is out there to exploit Baluchistan’s resources and in return they’re giving them nothing but modern day slavery.
This is unacceptable to the people of Balochistan and they will attack every asset of the CPEC and Pakistan army to make their grievances be heard internationally.
People of Balochistan deserve freedom from this dictatorship and once they have it we are ready to give them a deal. Bharat and Iran will both join hands to give a billion dollar package to Baloch people and it will be backed by Russia and BRICS.

Kinda proves my point, That thread had been here for 6 years and total length 4 pages.
So we had a new thread on Balochistan with "India" plugged in. Lo behold.. 2 page length in less than a year.
Engagement achieved, but also shows what the true focus of Pakistani posters is. and honestly its sad.
Khalistan has more threads and several times more lengthy discussions on a Pakistani forum than Balochistan where insurgency is actually killing hundreds of Pakistanis on such a frequent basis.
A Sikh Plumber in Canada gets more sympathy from Pakistani posters than their own fellow Pakistanis.
Alleged Indian government involvement in plots to assassinate Sikh separatists living in the West
How did you bring ISI into this? I never mentioned Pakistan or ISI. Aap to khamakha self conscious hogaye. :srt Uh, maybe it could be because almost every Indian believes that the ISI is funding the Khalistani movement? Whose payroll do you think they’re under if not the ISI’s?😮

Terror is Terror and is being condemned no matter where it happens.
Have I supported the terror attack? I am just surprised at the complete indifference to what's going on in Balochistan by the people. Atleast drop in the usual "Rest in Peace" for the innocent victims of the attack. But there was just crickets. It just shows what the priorities of people are.
The implied blame on India is on such flimsy grounds that all the posters obsessed with conspiracy theories are not even bothered to engage here and blame India. I would have taken that. But its absolute INDIFFERENCE

The division of Bharat was done in a very pathetic manner by the British resulting in us getting into an endless conflict of communal disharmony.
Our people will have to learn the fundamentals of coexistence in a multireligious society. Sadly even today when i make a hard hitting comment some are quick to resort to blasphemous anti religion comments. Such people will never let us live peacefully.

Interior minister pledges enhanced security in Balochistan after Quetta terror attack
In response to escalating terrorist activity in Balochistan, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced an expansion of intelligence-based operations (IBOs) across the province on Sunday. The statement follows a deadly blast near Quetta Railway Station that claimed 27 lives and injured over 50 people on Saturday.
Chairing a high-level meeting on Balochistan’s security situation, Naqvi pledged the federal government’s full support to the provincial administration. “The federal government will provide all possible support to the Balochistan government to counter the threat of terrorism,” he said, stressing that bolstering the province's security apparatus is a top priority.
He detailed plans to reinforce law enforcement capabilities, including targeted training and professional development for Balochistan’s Police, Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), Levies, and other security forces.
Paying tribute to the recent blast victims, Naqvi offered condolences to their families, affirming, “This fight against terrorism is a collective responsibility, and victory against our enemies is our only option.”
Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti also spoke, reaffirming the provincial government's commitment to improving law and order. “A small group of elements is responsible for these attacks, and we are determined to eliminate them completely,” he stated.
Senior officials, including Chief Secretary Shakeel Qadir Khan, Additional Chief Secretary Home Shahab Ali Shah, IG Police Moazzam Jah Ansari, and Quetta Division Commissioner Hamza Shafqaat, participated in the meeting to strategise on enhancing security and responding to recent attacks.

Intelligence-based operations to be expanded in Balochistan after Quetta attack
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti have decided to expand the intelligence-based operations in the province after the Quetta attack, which killed 27 people and wounded more than 50.
“The federal government will provide all possible support to the Balochistan government to deal with the menace of terrorism,” Naqvi said while presiding over a meeting on the law and order situation in the province.
A powerful explosion rocked the area near the railway station in Quetta on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of 27 individuals and injuring more than 50 others, including both men and women.
Pools of blood and ripped backpacks were seen at the scene, where a large metal sheet protecting passengers from the elements had been blown off.
Initial reports said that the attacker was carrying seven to eight kilogrammes of explosives strapped to his body.
It was decided that “decisive steps” would be taken with full force to crush the terrorists. Officials presented a preliminary report of the suicide blast at the Quetta Railway Station in the meeting.
Naqvi announced his decision to provide resources to Balochistan on a “priority basis.” Measures would be taken to provide training and strengthen the professional capabilities of police, the Counter Terrorism Department, Levies and other forces of Balochistan to deal with the menace of terrorism, he added.
Balochistan CM Bugti stated that the professional capabilities of Levies, Police and CTD would be strengthened and developed on “modern lines” with the support of the federal government.
He expressed the government’s resolve to defeat enemies who want to weaken Pakistan by furthering their “nefarious designs.”
Bugti vowed to root out the menace of terrorism and ensure peace in the province.

Indian hand in this suicide bombing.. that much is apparent… reading the disgusting the comments on here they seem to be relishing every innocent Muslim death with gusto.
To the innocents who have unjustly paid the ultimate price, Rest in peace and condolences to their families and loved ones.
May those to planned and undertook this despicable deed suffer unjust torment here and in the hereafter.

Two ‘suicide bombers arrested’ in Balochistan
