Blast in Pakistan: Balochistan Declares Emergency After Deadly Quetta Railway Station Blast

Following the deadly explosion at Quetta Railway Station, the government has declared an ’emergency’ at local hospitals, with authorities confirming that medical aid is being provided to the injured, as reported by Dawn News.

Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest and most impoverished province, is rich in resources but has long been a hotspot for separatist militancy. Militants, including the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), have regularly targeted energy projects, particularly those funded by foreign investments, including China. These groups accuse outsiders of exploiting the region’s resources while excluding local residents from benefiting.

The BLA, which has frequently claimed responsibility for attacks against security forces and Pakistanis from other provinces, has escalated its violent campaign in recent months. In August, the group was behind coordinated assaults that killed at least 39 people, marking one of the deadliest incidents in the region. The latest blast at Quetta Railway Station, which occurred as the Johar Express was about to depart, underscores the ongoing security challenges facing the region.
