Jammu: Militants on October 26 night set off a blast on a rail track derailing five bogies of Delhi-bound Shalimar Express at a place about 45km from Jammu but there was no casualty, senior Railway officials said.

Jammu Station Superintendent Mulkraj Sharma said the blast on the rail track went off at a place between Sambha and Gagwal stations at around 22:06 hours (IST), almost an hour after Shalimar Express left Jammu Tawai station.

Chief Public Relations Officer of Northern Railway Devendra Sandhu said the derailment took place soon after the explosion on the track.

"All passengers are safe. No one is injured," he said.
