Pakistan train hijack caught on camera? Visuals of how Jaffar Express was seized

Moments after Baloch separatists opened fire at the Jaffar Express train in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan on Tuesday, some pro-Balochistan groups have widely shared a video claiming to show the visuals of the attack and seizure of the train. This is believed to be the first video showing the blast, it was being claimed. Although Moneycontrol couldn't independently verify the visuals.

There was no official confirmation by the Pakistani government or the rebels. In the video, it could be seen that the train was passing through a mountainous train believed to be of Balochistan. The video shows black smoke billowing out from some of the coaches of the train and then a blast occurred. Armed men could also be seen next to the train. These are believed to be Baloch rebels.
