“One train bogie was damaged in the blast and a portion of the tracks blown up,” said railways official Aammir Baloch.
Train services for Quetta were suspended.
The blast came hours after a local leader of the Awami National Party (ANP) died in a landmine explosion in Balochistan’s Nasirabad district.
