Train bombing in Pakistan's Quetta disrupts passenger service amid Balochistan unrest

A bombing targeting a train in Quetta, Pakistan's capital of Balochistan province, has derailed passenger service on a major rail route. The attack reflects ongoing militant activity in the resource-rich but violence-prone region, where separatist groups have conducted repeated bombings against infrastructure and civilian targets. Balochistan has experienced decades of insurgency, complicating Pakistan's efforts to stabilize the province and develop its natural resources. The incident underscores the security challenges facing Pakistan's transportation network.
