Railway authorities said the engine is no longer operational and arrangements are being made to send a replacement engine to move the train forward. However, by the time of reporting, the alternate engine had not yet arrived at the site.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported in the attack. Officials said the incident could have been far worse, but the absence of staff and passengers at the time prevented any loss of life. Security forces were immediately put on alert to ensure the safety of railway tracks and stored cargo.
Ahmad Wal Railway Station is considered a key logistics point for Nushki and nearby areas, as it is used for transporting goods of various kinds. The attack comes at a time when the security situation in the province is already described as tense.
In a related incident, a private news channel reported that unknown individuals also targeted an important bridge on the National Highway near the Galangor area using explosive material. The blast caused serious damage to the bridge, with a portion completely destroyed.
Police sources warned that traffic flow could be badly affected, as the bridge connects Nushki with other districts and serves as a vital route for daily movement and trade.
Following the attacks, search operations were launched across the area, and security patrols around Ahmad Wal Railway Station and nearby locations have been increased. Police said investigations are underway to identify and arrest those responsible, though no group has claimed responsibility so far.
These incidents highlight the ongoing threats faced by railway installations and major highways in Balochistan. Over the past few months, repeated attacks have disrupted the transport system, raising concerns among travelers and traders alike.
Security forces have claimed full control of the situation and assured that repair work at the affected sites will begin soon. Meanwhile, local residents are urging authorities to strengthen security measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
