India and Afghanistan reject charges, as Pakistan reveals details of operation that freed hundreds of passengers.

We strongly reject the baseless allegations made by Pakistan. The whole world knows where the epicentre of global terrorism lies,' external affairs ministry spokesperson RandhirJaiswal said

Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan also claimed that intelligence reports indicated the Baloch terrorists, behind the hijack, were in contact with their associates in Afghanistan

Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan claimed that the rebels involved in the attack on the Jaffar Express were in contact with ring leaders in Afghanistan.

India rejects Pakistan's allegation of involvement in the Jaffar Express hijacking, emphasising that Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism.

India has strongly denied Pakistan's accusation of involvement in the Jaffar Express attack, calling for Pakistan to address its own internal problems instead of blaming India.

The train hijacking in south-western Pakistan represents a major escalation in the region’s long-running insurgency.

The Baloch Liberation Army claimed responsibility for the attack on the Jaffar Express. Earlier, around 190 of the hostages were freed by Pakistani forces during an overnight rescue operation.
