Pakistan: Low intensity blasts damage railway tracks in Hyderabad, Kotri
Hyderabad, Pakistan: Low intensity blasts damaged the railway tracks in Pakistan's Hyderabad and Kotri regions on Thursday, media reports said.
The Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA) group later claimed responsibility for the blasts.
No group claimed responsibility for the incident so far.
No casualty was reported in the incident.
The terrorist outfit made the claim in an email sent to this reporter and said the blasts were carried out to send a message to all ‘outsiders’ to leave Sindh, reports Dawn News.
Non-electric explosive devices were used on the tracks in Khursheed Colony in Kotri town, Jamshoro district, and near Detha railway station in Hyderabad rural taluka, according to bomb disposal squad (BDS) officials as quoted by Dawn News.
Authorities suspended traffic after the blasts and restored it after the tracks were repaired by 10am.
Following the blasts, trains bound for upcountry were stopped at Hyderabad, Kotri and Thatta railway stations for some time.
A BDS official Ramazan Panhwar told Dawn News that explosives used in the Hyderabad blast weighed around 200 to 250 grams and the one used in Kotri was 300 to 400 grams.
