In Pakistan, at least 13 people, including two police officials, were injured in a grenade attack targeting a police mobile in Dera Murad Jamali, highlighting country’s worsening security crisis in the volatile province of Balochistan. In a separate incident, unidentified armed men attacked the Jaffar Express passenger train in the same region, firing bullets and launching four rockets. The train, carrying dozens of passengers, sustained minor damage before security forces retaliated, forcing the attackers to retreat. Earlier this year, the train was hijacked in Bolan Valley, resulting in death of 21 passengers. Despite these assertions, the recurring violence exposes Pakistan’s inability to secure its transport routes and protect civilians. The twin attacks in Dera Murad Jamali are a sharp reminder that Balochistan remains a battlefield for violence. Pakistan’s repeated failures to safeguard its people highlight a crumbling security framework, one that continues to endanger ordinary citizens and erode public trust in state institutions.
