The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has released a two-minute video of an attack on Pakistani Coast Guards boats in Jiwani, a coastal area of Gwadar district in Balochistan.
According to the BLA, 13 Pakistani personnel were killed in the attack.
The video, released through the group’s official media channel, Hakkal, shows armed men aboard a boat. The organisation identified them as members of its maritime unit, the Hammal Maritime Defence Force (HMDF), and said they used a boat equipped with modern weapons to target two Pakistani Coast Guards boats patrolling the waters off Jiwani.
The Hammal Maritime Defence Force is a maritime unit established by the BLA, which announced its formation on 13 April 2026.
The group has described the Jiwani attack as its second operation involving the unit. On 12 April 2026, the BLA claimed to have targeted a Pakistani Navy patrol boat near Mil Tiyab in Jiwani, describing the incident as the HMDF’s first operation. The group also released a video of that first operation.
Pakistani authorities have not yet released any details about the attack or commented on the BLA’s claims.
