BLA took responsibility for the attack
Baloch Liberation Army spokesperson Ziand Baloch has taken responsibility for this suicide attack in a statement issued to the media. Initial investigation has revealed that the attack was planned in advance and the time of passing of the train was deliberately chosen so that maximum damage could be caused.

Investigative agencies gathered
Police and security agencies are busy gathering clues related to the exact cause of the blast and the identity of the suicide bomber. According to officials, the entire matter is being thoroughly investigated and high alert has been declared in the area.

This train has been hijacked before
This is the same Jafar Express, which was hijacked by Baloch Liberation Army fighters in the Balochistan province of Pakistan in the year 2025. In March 2025, Jafar Express going from Quetta to Peshawar was stopped in the inaccessible hilly area of ​​Bolan district of Balochistan and hijacked. More than 400 passengers aboard the train were taken hostage by Baloch fighters. The Pakistani Army claimed to have rescued the passengers by running ‘Operation Green Bolan’, in which many lives were also lost.

Nearly 50 people were killed in a series of attacks in Balochistan, after which Pakistani security forces killed 145 Baloch fighters in a 40-hour long operation. The Chief Minister of Balochistan gave this information on Sunday (February 1). Authorities in the southwestern province are grappling with the deadliest attacks in years as Baluch fighters step up attacks on security forces and infrastructure in resource-rich Balochistan, which borders Iran and Afghanistan.

According to the report of news agency Reuters, Pakistan’s Minister of State for Home Talal Chaudhary said that on Saturday, attackers disguised as civilians entered hospitals, schools, banks and markets and then started firing. He said that the attackers, disguised as civilians, indiscriminately targeted the common people working in shops. He further said that the terrorists used civilians as human shields.

Bad condition in capital Quetta
The separatist group Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying it had launched an operation called ‘Herof’ or “Black Storm”, targeting security forces across the province. The marks of the attack are clearly visible in the capital Quetta. Burnt vehicles at a police station, bullet-riddled doors, roads sealed with yellow tape and patrolling by security forces are enough to indicate that a large-scale attack took place here.

What did Balochistan CM say?
Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti said that 17 policemen and 31 civilians were killed in the attacks. Pakistan Army said that 92 terrorists (Baloch fighters) were killed on Saturday, while 41 (Baloch fighters) were killed on Friday. “We had received intelligence that such an operation was being planned, and because of that we had started pre-operations a day in advance,” Bugti said. Bugti said that this is the highest number of terrorists killed in such a short period since the insurgency intensified.

Officials said the attacks took place almost simultaneously in Quetta, Gwadar, Mustang and Noshki districts. The attackers also fired on security establishments, including the headquarters of the Frontier Corps. Attempts were made to commit suicide bombings. After this, the army, police and anti-terrorism units retaliated on a large scale.

Decades of insurgency in Balochistan
Let us tell you that Balochistan is the largest and poorest province of Pakistan, where the insurgency of ethnic Baloch separatists has been going on for decades. These separatists are demanding their independence and share in natural resources from the Pakistani government. BLA has claimed that they have killed 84 soldiers of Pakistan security forces and captured 18 others.

Foreign investment in danger
In such a situation, Pakistan’s dream of foreign investment in the mines of Balochistan may be in trouble, because all western countries including America invest only considering the security system. After Asim Munir’s invitation to US President Donald Trump to invest in Ricoh Dick Khan of Balochistan last year, the US government was currently assessing the security aspects before investing, in such a situation the BLA attack in Balochistan is enough to close or postpone the routes of foreign investments.

Shahbaz Sharif’s dream of foreign investment in crisis

In such a situation, Pakistan’s dream of foreign investment from other countries including America in the mines of Balochistan may be in trouble, because all the western countries including America invest only considering the security system. After Pakistan’s Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) General Asim Munir’s invitation to US President Donald Trump last year to invest in Balochistan’s Rico Dick Mine, the US government was currently assessing the security aspects before making the investment. In such a situation, the BLA attack in Balochistan today is enough to close or postpone the path of foreign investments in the mines of Balochistan.
