The Jaffar Express attack in Balochistan has sparked outrage and strong condemnation from the United States. The US Embassy in Islamabad has denounced the violent assault on the passenger train and the hostage-taking incident in Kacchi district.
This Jaffar Express attack was claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), which is already listed by the United States as a global terrorist organization. The brutal act has been condemned across the board.
Through an official statement on its X account, the US Embassy extended heartfelt sympathy to the victims, their families, and all those affected by this tragic event. “We strongly condemn the attack on the Jaffar Express train and the hostage-taking of passengers. The Pakistani people deserve to live free from violence and fear,” the statement read.
The US government reaffirmed its commitment to Pakistan’s security. It assured continued support in the fight against terrorism. “The United States will remain a steadfast partner of Pakistan in its efforts to ensure the safety and security of all its citizens. We stand in solidarity with Pakistan during this difficult time,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the operation to rescue hostages from the Jaffar Express attack has entered its final phase. Security forces are actively working in Bolan, Balochistan, where the tragic incident unfolded. Train services have been suspended for three days due to serious security threats.
According to official sources, 190 passengers have been rescued safely from the hands of the terrorists. Security officials confirmed that 33 militants were eliminated during the operation. Many of the rescued passengers, including women and children, were reportedly used as human shields by the attackers during the Jaffar Express attack.
The tragic event has underlined the ongoing threat of militancy in the region. The Jaffar Express attack once again brought the spotlight back on the activities of terror outfits operating in Balochistan. Synonyms like assault and incident reflect the intensity of this terror strike.
This Jaffar Express attack has not only shocked the nation but also strengthened global resolve to support Pakistan in its battle against terrorism. The event stands as a grim reminder of the challenges faced by ordinary citizens and the importance of global cooperation to eliminate extremism.
