More than 150 passengers were rescued in Baluchistan, Pakistan, following the hijacking of the Jaffar Express train by the insurgent group Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA).
Pakistani military sources reported that 155 civilians have been released and 27 attackers killed, while the operation to free the remaining hostages continues.
The attackers, who hold more than 400 passengers, use suicide bombers wearing explosive vests along with some hostages, complicating the operation.
According to a military source, 17 people were injured and taken to the hospital, without specifying whether they were civilians or security personnel.
The main objective is the safe release of all hostages, but the situation remains unstable due to the use of women and children as human shields by terrorists.
