QUETTA: Unknown militants blew up a section of a railway track in the Nasirabad area on Wednesday, disrupting train services, police said.
According to police, unidentified individuals detonated explosive material on the railway track within the limits of Notal Police Station in Nasirabad, causing damage to the track. A passenger train was scheduled to pass through the area shortly after the blast and narrowly escaped a major accident. Following the explosion, trains arriving from Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were stopped at Jacobabad and Dera Murad Jamali railway stations as a precautionary measure. Railway staff reached the site and began repair work on the damaged track, after which train operations will be restored, officials said. Meanwhile, police and security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to trace and apprehend those responsible for the attack.
