Balochistan, March 12 – Pakistani security sources confirmed that the army successfully freed 190 passengers held by separatist militants in Balochistan since Tuesday.

The attack was carried out by the “Balochistan Liberation Army” on a train carrying over 450 passengers in a remote area near the Afghan border.

The operation resulted in the death of 30 militants, although the exact number of hostages still being held remains unclear.

The attack also led to the deaths of the train’s driver, a police officer, and a soldier. This escalation comes amid rising attacks from rebel groups accusing the Pakistani government of exploiting the region’s rich natural resources.
