Quetta: An explosion on the railway track near Mastung caused six carriages of the Jaffar Express to derail on Sunday.

According to railway officials, the Jaffar Express had departed from Quetta for Peshawar at 9:00 AM. The blast occurred near Mastung, just as the train was passing through the area.

Fortunately, no passengers were injured in the incident, officials confirmed.

It is worth noting that just a few days ago, another explosion occurred on the railway track in Sibi, where the Jaffer Express narrowly escaped a similar mishap.

On the other side, another derail incident occurred near Khanpur, where Awam Express train traveling from Peshawar to Karachi, met with an accident resulting in three bogies to go off from the track.

After five hours the railway track was fully restored, and the Awam Express was once again on the way towards Karachi.
