Pakistan security forces freed 155 hostages out of roughly 450 passengers and killed 27 militants as a train siege in Pakistan's Balochistan province entered its second day, AFP reported.
"Security forces have safely rescued 155 passengers... 27 terrorists have been eliminated," security sources told the news agency, adding that the operation was still "ongoing."
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) took over the Jaffar Express in Balochistan on Tuesday.
