Separatistical militants said they took hostages on Tuesday during the attack on the train, which transported hundreds of people on the southwest Pakistan and threatened to kill them if their requests were not met.
Officials of the Provincial Government and Railways did not immediately confirm whether the waves were taken.
The train, who wore about 400 passengers, was trapped in the tunnel after the attack, in which he came under fire and the driver was wounded, police and railway officials said.
Security forces said the explosion was heard around the tunnel and exchanged fire with militants in a mountain space.
In the statement, the Baloh Liberation Army (Bla), a militant separatist group, said she took hostages from the train, including security forces. It threatened to carry out hostages if security forces do not withdraw.
Jaffar Express was on the way from Quette in the southwest Province of Pakistan in Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, when he shot, the railway officials said.
Pakistani Minister of the Interior, Mohsin Naqvi, condemned the attack and said that the government did not make any concessions “Beasts shooting in innocent travelers”.
The Balohistan government imposed emergency measures to address the situation, said Rind.
Dozens and the old rebellion in Balohistan by separatist militant groups led to frequent attacks on the Government, the army and Chinese interests in the region, pressing the requirements for the share in resources rich minerals.
Bla is looking for independence for a ballohistan. He is the largest of ethnic rebels that fought for decades from the Government of the southern Asian nation, saying that unfairly exploits the Balohistan’s rich gas and mineral raw materials.
