Suspected suicide bombing targeting train in Pakistan kills 23, injures 70

At least 23 people were killed and another 70 injured in a suspected suicide bombing targeting a train in southwestern Pakistan on Sunday.

According to the sources, a suspected suicide bomber believed to have acted alone rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a train carrying military personnel in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan.

The blast occurred along a railway track as the train was heading toward the city’s cantonment area.

Officials said the explosion was powerful enough to be heard several miles away.
