Balochistan of Pakistan

Authorities say at least 25 people have been killed after a bomb exploded at a railway station in Pakistan 's Balochistan province .

Dozens more were injured in the blast, which occurred as a popular morning train was about to leave Quetta station in southwestern Pakistan for Peshawar.

A militant group, the Balochistan Liberation Army, said it carried out the bombing in what police are treating as a suicide attack.

There has been a recent increase in deadly attacks in the province, fueled by demands for independence and control over local resources.

The city commissioner said at least 25 people were killed, including the suicide bomber, and about 50 others were injured in the blast.

Senior police official Muhammad Baloch said the blast is believed to have been caused by a suicide bomber carrying 6-8 kg of explosives.

The dead and wounded included civilians and soldiers, he told the BBC.

Videos shared on social media appear to show the moment the explosion took place on Saturday morning, with dozens of people standing on the platform waiting for the train.

Footage of the aftermath is also circulating, showing a number of injured people and debris strewn around the station.
