A large-scale military operation by Pakistani forces in the Bolan region of Balochistan has entered its fourth day, with reports of continued clashes between the military and Baloch insurgent groups. Helicopter movement has been observed in the area, and the operation includes the use of gunship helicopters and drone surveillance.
According to local sources, the operation is primarily focused on the Barari region and its surrounding areas. It began four days ago and has reportedly resulted in casualties among Pakistani forces. On the third day of the operation, three paramilitary personnel were confirmed dead following an attack by Baloch insurgents.
The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has claimed responsibility for the ambush, stating that its fighters, supported by the United Baloch Army (UBA), attacked Pakistani forces as they entered the mountainous terrain of Barari. The BLF spokesperson, Major Gwahram Baloch, stated that four personnel, including a Frontier Corps (FC) subedar, were killed, and three others were injured in the assault.
The BLF emphasized Bolan’s historical significance in Baloch resistance, describing it as a key stronghold in their struggle. The group reiterated its commitment to continued attacks against Pakistani security forces, vowing to persist until the realization of an independent Balochistan.
Pakistani authorities have not yet issued an official statement regarding the ongoing operation or the casualties reported by the insurgents.
