An explosion on railway track derails Jafar Express in Mastung, causing fear and disruption for passengers onboard. The incident occurred on Monday morning near the Dasht area of Balochistan, a region that has seen repeated attacks on transport and infrastructure.
According to officials, the explosion on railway track derails Jafar Express in Mastung while it was traveling from Quetta to Peshawar. The blast damaged a section of the railway line, causing several bogies to derail. Rescue teams and security personnel reached the site quickly to assist stranded passengers.
Authorities reported that at least a few passengers sustained injuries, though no fatalities were immediately confirmed. The injured were shifted to nearby hospitals for treatment. Railways officials said the quick response prevented a higher number of casualties.

The derailment has also disrupted railway services in the region, forcing delays and diversions of other scheduled trains. Engineers have been deployed to repair the damaged section of track and restore services as soon as possible.
Local authorities condemned the attack, calling it an act of sabotage aimed at spreading fear. The federal government has also been briefed on the situation, with officials pledging strict action against those behind the blast.
