QUETTA: Miscreants blew up a railway track in the Bolan district of Balochistan on Tuesday, Levies sources said.

Levies sources told Dawn that miscreants planted an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) close to the railway track in the Mashkaf area of Bolan district.

The IED went off with a big bang, Levies said, adding that there were no casualties. Meanwhile, passenger trains were stopped in Quetta to avoid any untoward incident.
