In Pakistan’s Balochistan province, the Jaffar Express train derailed after a massive explosion on the railway tracks. Multiple coaches went off the rails, injuring several passengers. Rescue teams have been dispatched, and authorities are investigating the cause of the blast.

The United States, along with the United Kingdom and France, has blocked a joint Pakistan-China bid at the United Nations to sanction the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and its suicide wing, the Majeed Brigade, under the UN 1267 regime. The move comes as a diplomatic shock to Pakistan, especially after recent signs of warming ties with Washington.
