Pakistan railway station bomb blast: At least 24 killed, over 40 injured; victims recount horror

At least 24 people were killed and more than 40 injured in a bomb blast on Saturday (Nov 9) at a railway station in the city of Quetta in southwestern Pakistan, police and other officials said.

Quetta is the capital of Balochistan province, which is grappling with a surge in strikes by separatist ethnic militants that has raised security concerns for projects aiming to develop the province’s untapped mineral resources.

Inspector general of police for Balochistan Mouzzam Jah Ansari said 24 people have died so far from the blast at the railway station, which is usually busy early in the day when the explosion took place.
