A recent bomb attack on the Jaffar Express in Pakistan’s Balochistan province highlights the escalating violence faced by civilian rail transit, attributed to Baloch insurgents. The attack involved a remote-controlled IED and rocket fire, causing significant track damage but no reported casualties. This incident is part of a troubling pattern of assaults against the Jaffar Express throughout 2025, reflecting a concerted effort by groups like the Baloch Republican Guards to undermine state authority and disrupt essential infrastructure. Despite security measures and previous successful operations against assailants, the ongoing threat complicates efforts to restore public confidence in rail services and underscores the volatile security situation in the region.
