A train carrying 280 passengers has derailed in a remote area of south-western Pakistan, killing the train driver and 11 passengers and injuring at least 57 people.

The accident took place near the village of Abe Ghum as the train was en route to the garrison city of Rawalpindi from Quetta, the capital of impoverished Baluchistan province, a police officer said.
