Pakistan Train Hijack: On March 11 2025, militants hijacked a passenger train in Pakistan. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), which has been constantly attacking the Pakistani government and army, continues to assert its presence. BLA fighters who attacked the Zafar Express train took more than 180 passengers hostage.
Militants hijacked the Zafar Express train in Pakistan’s Balochistan province and took hundreds of people hostage. Officials said that the army has rescued 104 people so far in this incident. Among them, 31 women and 15 children were said to be among them, and all of them have been shifted to the nearby town. It was also revealed that the army had killed 16 militants. The firing between the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Pakistani army continued throughout the night. Up to 30 soldiers were reported to have lost their lives in this firing. This has not been confirmed by the authorities so far.
BLA militants have taken 182 people hostage, most of whom were security personnel. Officials said there were about 500 passengers on board the train at the time of the attack. The militants attacked the train as it was traveling from the mountainous city of Quetta to Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. There are 17 tunnels on the route, and they blew up the track at the 8th tunnel and hijacked the Zafar Express. They then surrounded the train and opened fire on it. The loco pilot was killed in the firing and several passengers were injured.

The army is tracing the militants, who are taking some hostages in the mountainous areas. There are reports that the militants have split into groups to escape. However, the security forces have surrounded the tunnel and the operation has become difficult due to the mountainous area, officials said. On the other hand, the militants are demanding the release of the people abducted by the army and the Baloch political prisoners in jail within 48 hours, otherwise, they will blow up the train completely. Moreover, they have threatened to kill 10 hostages if the military operation is not stopped.
Meanwhile, although the BLA has announced that women and children have been released. Government sources believe that they are being used as protective shields. Another train has been sent there to protect the passengers.
In the wake of the Pakistan Train hijack incident, emergency relief centers have been set up at Peshawar and Quetta railway stations for the relatives of the victims.
Meanwhile, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has strongly condemned the incident. However, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has accused ‘enemy forces’ of conspiring to create instability in the country by inciting violence in Balochistan.
