The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has released a video showing the exact moment they hijacked the Jaffar Express in Pakistan’s Balochistan province.
The footage shows how the militants detonated an explosive on the railway tracks, bringing the Peshawar-bound train to a sudden halt before seizing control and taking passengers hostage. The visuals reveal thick plumes of black smoke rising from the train’s engine as the problem occurred onboard. Over 400 passengers were on the train at the time of the attack.
