Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) fighters attacked a Pakistani military camp in Balochistan’s Jhao and later blocked a key highway in Kharan, the group’s spokesperson said on Thursday, while Pakistani officials did not immediately comment.
BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch said the group’s fighters carried out the attack on a military camp in the Kohadu area of Jhao on April 12, claiming several personnel were killed or injured.
He said the assault began with a sniper attack on a soldier guarding the camp, followed by what he described as a coordinated attack using rocket launchers and automatic weapons.
“As a result of the operation, the camp sustained severe damage, and several military personnel were killed or injured,” he said.
In a separate operation on April 14, the group said its fighters blocked Nourozabad Road in the Sarawan area of Kharan, maintaining control of the highway for several hours and searching vehicles.
The BLF warned transporters against cooperating with Pakistani forces, stating that those involved in logistical or personnel support would be “directly targeted”.
“Anyone assisting the enemy in logistics or personnel movement will be directly targeted,” the statement said.
The group said it would continue armed attacks against Pakistani forces and their “facilitators” until what it called the “complete independence of Balochistan.”
Pakistani authorities did not immediately comment on the statement.
