SCO Condemns Jaffar Express Attack: Pakistan Train Hijacking
Imagine some bad guys from the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) stopped a train called the Jaffar Express.
They blew up some tracks, took control, and held the passengers hostage.
They wanted the government to let some prisoners go.
The army fought back, and after a day and a half, they rescued most people.
Sadly, many people died, including soldiers and the bad guys.
The whole world was upset, and a group called the SCO, which includes countries like India and China, spoke out against it.
The SCO said this was a terrorist attack and that everyone involved should be punished.
India and Pakistan are disagreeing over who was behind the attacks, with each side blaming the other.
Militants from the BLA hijacked the Jaffar Express on March 11, 2025, in Pakistan.
The hijackers demanded the release of Baloch political prisoners.
Pakistan's armed forces launched an operation to rescue the hostages, leading to many casualties.
The SCO condemned the attack in its Tianjin Declaration.
Pakistan alleged that India was involved, an accusation India denied.
