“A Baloch separatist group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a train carrying soldiers in Quetta, Pakistan.”
CORROBORATED
Two independent sources confirm that a separatist group claimed responsibility for the attack on a train in Quetta. Al Jazeera explicitly names the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), and another web search result confirms a separatist group claimed responsibility for a bombing of a shuttle train carrying passengers from a military base.

“The suicide car bombing killed at least 24 people”
