A powerful bomb exploded near a railway track as a train carrying passengers passed through the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta on Sunday, wounding more than two dozen people, officials said.
The force of the explosion caused two of the train cars to overturn and catch fire, sending thick black smoke into the air, according to footage shared online.
The attack happened in an area where security forces are usually stationed, badly damaging several nearby buildings and smashing vehicles parked along the road, according to witnesses and images circulating on social media.
Doctors at local hospitals said they had received more than 30 wounded people, several of them in critical condition.
Balochistan government official Babar Yousafzai said authorities were still investigating the blast, but gave no further details.
