Local media Reports indicate at least 27 terrorists who had hijacked the train were killed by the security forces and that they rescued 155 passengers. Amidst this, a video has gone viral (here, here, here, and here) on social media which claims to show the visuals of the hijacked train. Media organizations like ABP Live have also used a screenshot from this video in their report related to this incident.

 On 11 March 2025, a train(Jaffar Express) in Pakistan was halted and hijacked by the insurgents of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). They reportedly blew up the railway track while the train was on its way from Quetta to Peshawar and killed at least six military personnel.

While verifying the authenticity of this video, we came across a few comments Identifying this as an old video. We also found an X post made by a user named Mission Takmeel, who shared this video along with the news about the Jaffar Express hijack incident. Mission Takmeel states in a comment under this post that it is an old video and he shared it for representational purposes.

 Another user on X named Fear Fighter has posted a longer version of this video of the same video under a post with the viral video and said it was an old video. Taking this as a cue, we performed a keyword search and found an X post (archive link) containing the viral video. This was posted on 15 April 2022 with a text that reads, ‘BLA has released footage of an IED attack on Train carrying FC(Frontier Corps) near Sibbi, Balochistan.’

We then performed another keyword search to learn more about this and found a few news reports (here, here, and here) from March 2022 about an IED blast incident that happened on 15 March 2022 in the Sibi district of Pakistan.
