“The Balochistan Liberation Army claimed responsibility for a train bombing that killed at least 30 people in Pakistan.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim appears in one web search result snippet. While other search results mention explosions in Pakistan (e.g., May 24, 2026) or BLA attacks in August 2024, they do not specifically corroborate a train bombing with at least 30 deaths claimed by the BLA. The specific phrasing is found in only one provided source snippet.
