The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) said on Sunday its fighters carried out separate attacks in Kech and Panjgur districts of Balochistan, targeting vehicles allegedly supplying provisions to Pakistani forces and setting up a temporary roadblock on the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) highway.
In a statement, BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch said fighters ambushed several vehicles in the Gilli area of Buleda on Nov. 23 after receiving intelligence that the vehicles were transporting food, supplies and equipment to Pakistani armed forces. He said the fighters fired at the vehicles’ tyres and released the drivers with a warning.
He said Pakistani forces then attempted to encircle the fighters, leading to a clash that lasted about half an hour. The BLF said Pakistani troops used heavy weapons during the engagement, while its fighters withdrew safely using guerrilla tactics.
The BLF also said its fighters set up a one-hour roadblock and conducted snap checks on the CPEC highway in the Sorap area of Panjgur on Nov. 20. The group said two vehicles belonging to a military-linked construction company were damaged during the checks.
Meanwhile, the Baloch Republican Guards (BRG) said its fighters carried out an attack on Pakistani police in Hyderabad, Sindh. In a statement, BRG spokesperson Dostain Baloch said fighters opened fire on a police vehicle in the Matiari area late on Saturday, causing what he described as “human and material losses.”
Pakistani police and military officials had not issued statements responding to the BLF or BRG claims at the time of publication.
Separately, local sources said Pakistani forces have launched a ground operation across multiple areas of Zamuran in Kech district, including Noshman, Tagran, Jahli Gat, Charpan and Banko. No details were available regarding arrests or casualties, and authorities have not commented publicly on the operation.
Baloch armed groups have been active in much of Balochistan for decades and in recent years have expanded their presence into other regions, targeting Pakistani forces, state installations and infrastructure.
Pakistani authorities accuse the groups of being backed by external actors and say their military operations are aimed at protecting national security and restoring stability. The armed groups reject these claims and describe their actions as part of a struggle to end Pakistan’s rule and restore Balochistan’s independence.
