JAKARTA - It was reported that four people were killed and 30 others injured in an explosion at a train station in Quetta in southwest Pakistan.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack on Saturday, November 9. Until now there have been no details regarding the incident.

Pakistan is dealing with militant groups. As previously reported, four Pakistani soldiers were killed in a shootout with militants near the northwestern border with Afghanistan. Five Islamist militants were reportedly killed.

Reported by Reuters on Thursday, November 7, gunfire took place in the South Waziristan ethnicity, which is located next to the Afghanistan border an area that has long been a shelter for militants operating on both sides of the border.

Islamabad said militants used Afghan soil to train and plan attacks in Pakistan, a charge Kabul denies.

Pakistan says militants have become a major problem for the South Asian nation.

A militant group called Pakistan's Tahreek-e-Taliban attacked Pakistan and its troops for years in a bid to overthrow the government and replace it with a harsh Islamic system.

The group has accelerated attacks since last year after they lifted a ceasefire with the government, accusing the government of violating the ceasefire.
