The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks targeting Pakistani military personnel, alleged collaborators, and a supply vehicle in Kalat, Zehri, Zamuran, and Dukki, asserting that Pakistani forces sustained significant losses.
In a statement to the media, BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch said the group conducted a remote-controlled IED attack on Thursday against a Pakistani military foot patrol in the Surkhin and Nechara areas of Kalat. He claimed the explosion killed three soldiers instantly. Immediately afterward, another BLA squad reportedly ambushed additional forces using automatic weapons, killing four more soldiers.
The BLA also claimed that on Tuesday it killed Shahzaib, son of Muhammad Riyasat, in Zehri. According to the group, Shahzaib, a resident of Lahore, was a collaborator for Pakistani military and intelligence agencies, acting under the guise of a “mentally ill” individual. The BLA said its intelligence wing, “Zirab”, had been monitoring Shahzaib’s movements and determined his involvement in espionage activities.
On Wednesday, the BLA said its fighters attacked a vehicle delivering supplies to Pakistani forces in the Nawano area of Zamuran, disabling the truck. The driver was reportedly allowed to leave but was cautioned against further collaboration with the military.
In a separate operation, BLA fighters targeted what they described as a “death squad” camp in the Jhalar area of Dukki. The camp was allegedly led by Akbar Nasir and backed by the Pakistani military. The BLA claimed it used heavy weaponry to strike the location, accusing the squad of engaging in land grabs, robberies, and extortion in the region.
The group emphasized that collaborators and facilitators of the Pakistani forces remain direct targets of its operations. It warned that such attacks would intensify in the future.
