Pakistani security forces stormed a train on Wednesday that had been hijacked by separatist militants, killing all 33 attackers and ending a daylong standoff involving hundreds of hostages, the military said. Separatist Baloch militants on Tuesday blew up the railway track and hurled rockets at the Jaffar Express when it was on its way to Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province from Balochistan's capital of Quetta, carrying 440 people. The military said 21 hostages and four security troops were killed over the course of the standoff. Rescued passengers from a hijacked train arrived at Quetta railway station, where paramedics provided first aid to the injured. Baloch militant groups say they have been fighting for a larger share in the regional wealth of mines and minerals denied by the central government. https://www.voanews.com/a/militants-attack-train-take-hostages-in-pakistan-s-balochistan/8006651.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in nearly 50 languages to an estimated weekly audience of more than 354 million people.
