At least 24 people were killed on Sunday after a blast hit a train carrying military personnel in Pakistan’s turbulent southwestern province of Balochistan, a senior official said.

The attack took place in Quetta, the provincial capital, and left more than 50 people injured. Army servicemen were among the victims, the official told AFP.
