At least 100 security personnel were among those on board. The BLA, which has been designated a terrorist group by Pakistan, the UK, and the US, had demanded the release of Baloch political prisoners within 48 hours, threatening to kill hostages if their demands were not met.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"1282\">During the chaos, some passengers managed to flee into the surrounding mountainous terrain, while others walked for hours to reach the nearest railway station. Pakistani authorities launched a large-scale military response, deploying helicopters and hundreds of troops to secure the area. By Wednesday morning, more than 100 hostages had been freed, but the military is still searching for unaccounted-for passengers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"1282\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4729\" src=\"https:\/\/mgdmedia.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.35.32_bd5834ef.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"144\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1549\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The BLA has carried out attacks on military targets and infrastructure before, but this train hijacking marks a significant escalation in their insurgency.
