Abdul Jabbar was among the injured who were taken to the Civil Hospital. He said that he was entering the station after buying a ticket at the ticket office when the explosion rang out.
“I can’t describe the horror I faced today, it’s like doomsday,” he said.
Muhammad Sohail arrived shortly after the blast to catch a train to Multan.
“Everything is destroyed at the station, people were lying on the ground and screaming for help,” he said.
The Baloch Liberation Army, a separatist armed group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
In a statement posted on social media, the group said it targeted a Pakistani military unit returning from Quetta after completing a training course.
The Chief Minister of Balochistan called the act deplorable and the criminals “worse than animals”. He said the authorities would pursue them and “bring them to their logical end.”
Pakistan’s National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq condemned the blast, saying the “enemies of humanity” were responsible.
Balochistan is the largest and most resource-rich province of Pakistan, but the least developed.
The region shares a volatile border with Iran and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and has an extensive coastline along the Arabian Sea.
