  Officials confirmed that all 33 militants were killed. Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the director general for the military's media wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said five civilians, three railway employees and eighteen security personnel who were passengers of the train were killed, plus three FC personnel killed at the picket, one FC soldier killed on Wednesday morning, and another stationed for security duty on the train. Among the victims were at least three minors. Officials said they fear the death toll could rise due to the significant number of injuries. Initially it was reported that the train driver, Amjad Yasin, was killed, but he was later confirmed to have only been injured. He was shot in the back when militants opened fire on the train. Yasin was reported to have been a train driver for 24 years and previously survived a train explosion incident from about 8 years ago. Pakistani human rights activist Mama Qadeer said that over 200 security personnel were killed during the attack. At least 17 passengers and three security personnel were injured. A later report suggested that a total of 37 hostages were injured in the attack.
