QUETTA: Suspected insurgents attacked a passenger train with a rocket and small arms fire in Baluchistan, causing train services in the region to be suspended, an official said on Thursday.

The attack came near Mach, south of Quetta and damaged the engine but caused no casualties.

“Quetta Express was coming from the eastern city of Lahore towards Quetta when a rocket and small arms fire hit it,” he said.

“We have suspended train services in the region for the time being,” a Pakistan Railway official said, adding that an engine had been sent to bring the train, which is sheltering in a tunnel, to Quetta.●
