An organization called the Baloch Liberation Army has claimed that it has hijacked the Jaffar Express in Bolan and taken 450 people hostage. The BLA has warned that if any military action is taken against them, they will kill all the passengers. A total of six military personnel have been killed so far. According to Pakistani media, there were 450 passengers on the train.
The hostages include active-duty personnel of the Pakistani Army, Police, Anti-Terrorism Force (ATF), and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). All of them were going to Punjab on leave.

A few days ago, Baloch groups announced a new attack against Pakistan and China. The Baloch resistance group has recently finished war exercises with Sindhi separatist groups, and a joint statement of Baloch Raji Ajaoi Sangar or BRAS was issued, announcing a decisive war strategy.
The coming together of BRAS has posed a major threat to many CPEC projects run by China in Pakistan. A statement was issued after a joint meeting of Baloch Raji Ajaoi Sangar (BRAS), which was attended by high-level delegations of allied organizations - Baloch Liberation Army, Balochistan Liberation Front, Baloch Republican Guards, and Sindhi Liberation Organization Sindhu Desh Revolutionary Army.
The statement said that important decisions have been taken to take the Baloch national movement to a decisive stage. In this meeting, it was agreed that BRAS will soon take the form of Baloch National Army.
