Pakistani security forces have demolished the ancestral home of Bashir Zeb Baloch, identified as the leader of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), in the town of Noshki during an ongoing curfew and security operation, according to local sources.
Reports said that security forces entered Noshki with armoured vehicles and tanks after several days of heightened security measures. A curfew was imposed across the town, with authorities ordering shops to remain closed and directing residents to stay indoors while operations continued.
Local sources stated that the demolition took place in the Ahmed Wal area, where the house linked to Bashir Zeb Baloch was destroyed using explosives. The incident was reported amid broader security activity in different parts of the town.
The developments follow events on 31 January, when the BLA announced the launch of what it called “Operation Herof” and claimed to have taken control of Noshki, along with other areas. The group said it maintained control of the town for six days before announcing the end of the operation. In statements issued at the time, the BLA claimed it had targeted several military camps and an ISI facility, and that dozens of security personnel were killed during clashes. These claims could not be independently verified.
Pakistani authorities have not issued an official statement regarding the demolition or the reported events.
Separately, residents reported that another house in the Qazi Abad area was also demolished using explosives. The property was said to have been unoccupied since 2011 and to have belonged to Haji Abdul Samad, who died in 2009. His family is reported to have been living in a Gulf country for several years.
