One of the most active armed organisations in Balochistan, Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), has taken responsibility for multiple attacks in two different cities of Balochistan.
In a fresh statement released to media the official spokesman of BLA, Jeehand Baloch, claimed responsibility for an attack on a “hideout of Pakistani secret services officials” in Singani Sir, Turbat.
Turbat: BLA fighters attacked a hideout of Pakistani intelligence officials in Singani sar area of Turbat city. ISI personnel use this hideout for their secret operations against Baloch nation.

Jeehand Baloch alleged that the site was being used by Pakistani spies to carry out secret operations against Baloch nation.
Mr. Jeehand Baloch said that more such hideouts will be attacked.
“We request Baloch nation to completely avoid renting houses to Pakistani security and intelligence personnel”, Mr. Jeehand added.
In another statement released earlier on Friday, Mr. Jeehand Baloch had taken responsibility for an attack on Pakistani forces in Panjgur, Balochistan.
Jeehand Baloch said that fighters from BLA attacked a patrol party of Pakistani troops in Washbood area of Panjgur.
He added that BLA fighters killed two personnel of Pakistani forces and injured several others in this attack.

He vowed that BLA will continue its activities until “freedom of Balochistan”.
Baloch armed groups have recently escalated their armed activities in Balochistan. Analysts believe the recent unity among BLA and BLF has helped fighters consolidate their resources.
BLA recently released a video of an IED attack on Pakistani forces near Harnai, Balochistan. A vehicle of Pakistani forces with a Pakistani flag can be seen getting completely destroyed in the video due to a very powerful IED blast. At least 10 personnel of Pakistani Army were killed in this attack, carried out in August 2017.
This followed another video released few days ago which showed Pakistani security forces deployed for CPEC being attacked near Panjgur, Balochistan.
