Pakistan: Blast at Sibbi railway station kills six

At least six people were killed and many others were injured on Tuesday when a passenger train was targeted with a remote-controlled device at Sibbi Railway Station, SAMAA reports. Police confirmed that first bogey of the Jaffar Expresss was hit by a bomb planted inside the bogey. Initial reports suggest that six people lost their lives while 30 others got injured. The train had made a usual stopover at the Sibbi station – the second largest in Balochistan – when the blast occurred. Rescue teams have started their relief efforts and dead and injured are shifted to nearby hospital. According to our correspondent, the latest blast might be a reaction of Frontier Corps operation in Khuzdar and Kalat districts of the province yesterday in which at least 30 militants were killed.
