The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has claimed responsibility for the killing of three individuals it described as members or informants of state-backed “death squads” in separate incidents in Balochistan.
In a statement issued to the media, BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch said the group carried out an intelligence-based operation on 4 March 2026 in the Konshkalat area of Tump. According to the statement, an individual identified as Muslim, son of Ismail, was killed during the operation.
The spokesperson claimed that BLF fighters had attempted to capture him alive for interrogation but alleged that he attempted to flee upon seeing them, after which he was shot. The group further alleged that the deceased had been working under the patronage of a local militia leader named Saeed Abid and had been involved in informing on Baloch youths and assisting Pakistani forces in military operations in the area.
In another incident, the group said its fighters carried out an operation on 12 March in the Absar area of Turbat, where an individual identified as Pervez, son of Nek Bakht, was killed. The BLF alleged that Pervez had previously been part of the Baloch movement but had surrendered to the Pakistani military in 2017 and later became associated with a local armed group opposed to the movement.
According to the statement, BLF members attempted to detain him for questioning but he was killed after allegedly resisting.
The group also said that on 11 February its members detained another individual, Waheed, son of Kamalan and a resident of Tajaban, during an intelligence-based operation in the Karki area. The BLF claimed that during interrogation he admitted involvement in informing for the Pakistani military and participation in past operations against the group.
The statement said that he was subsequently killed on 6 March following what the group described as an internal investigation.
The BLF statement further warned that individuals accused of informing for Pakistani security forces or cooperating with groups it refers to as “death squads” remain on its target list.
Pakistani authorities have not issued an immediate response to the claims.
