The blast occurred near the ticket counter, and initial investigations suggest it was a suicide attack. More than hundred people were present at the station at the time, and two trains were set to depart from the platform. As soon as the Jaffer Express arrived, the explosion took place.
Pakistan’s heart province Balochistan has been plagued by terrorism for a long time, and this incident has further spread fear and uncertainty in the region. Balochistan Police and security agencies are investigating the attack, while the families of the victims are deeply distressed.
