The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) said on Tuesday that its fighters continued to hold control in Nushki and several other areas of Balochistan as coordinated attacks under the second phase of “Operation Herof 2.0” entered a fourth consecutive day.
In a statement, BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch said fighters were maintaining “strong positions” across multiple fronts, claiming Pakistani forces were facing “intense pressure, repeated setbacks and disarray” despite attempts to regain lost ground.
“For four days, Baloch fighters have repelled and neutralised the enemy’s advances through sustained resistance,” the statement said.
The group said its “preliminary and cautious” estimates indicated that nearly 280 personnel of the Pakistani army, Frontier Corps, police, Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) and army-backed militias had been killed since the launch of the operation on Saturday.
It said the numbers were expected to rise as the situation evolved and that verified details would be released after consolidation.
According to the BLA, 35 of its fighters had been killed so far, including 18 fidayeen of the Majeed Brigade, 10 members of the Fateh Squad and seven fighters of the STOS unit.
The group accused Pakistani forces of carrying out drone strikes and helicopter shelling on civilian areas “to conceal military failures,” alleging that several civilians had been killed in these attacks. It said the strikes reflected “moral, military and political bankruptcy.”

The BLA also released new video footage from Nushki, where it says fighters targeted multiple Pakistani military positions, including what the group described as army headquarters, during the ongoing operation.
The footage shows BLA fighters, including visibly armed female combatants, operating heavy weapons such as SPG-82 recoilless rifles. Fighters are seen standing calmly while firing on military positions in Nushki.
In separate footage, BLA fighters are seen targeting Pakistani Army camps and a military intelligence (MI) headquarters in Tump, which the group said was also struck as part of the coordinated offensive.
