Pakistani security forces stormed a train taken hostage by separatist militants, resulting in the deaths of 33 attackers and the rescue of hundreds of passengers. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) had previously claimed responsibility for the attack, threatening to execute hostages unless authorities released political prisoners. In the operation, the military faced challenges, including the presence of suicide bombers among the hostages. Following the assault, many survivors were reported safe, and the government is working to enhance security in the region.
