The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), a “pro-independence” Baloch armed group, has claimed responsibility for a wave of coordinated attacks across Balochistan, saying its fighters targeted 14 sites including Pakistani military posts, energy transport vehicles, and alleged state-backed death squad members.
In a statement released on Monday, BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch said the operations were carried out over three days between 7 and 9 June in the districts of Kech, Gwadar, and Nushki. The group said the assaults involved the use of rocket launchers, heavy weaponry, and targeted ambushes.
The first attack reportedly took place shortly after midnight on 7 June. According to the BLF, fighters launched several rocket shells at a military post in the Nasirabad area of Kech district, causing what the group described as personnel and material losses.
Later that night, at around 10:00 PM, the group said it attacked a military camp in the Soro area of Mand, using rocket launchers and heavy weapons. Fighters reportedly withdrew safely, despite surveillance efforts by the Pakistani military.
That same night, BLF fighters also established checkpoints along the highway between Rek Bazar and Koh Dagar in Mand. According to the group, they monitored “enemy movements” and searched vehicles in Baloch Abad. “The frightened enemy forces remained confined to their camps,” the statement claimed.
On the morning of 7 June, the BLF said its fighters detained Abdullah, son of Saeed, in the Minaz area of Buleda. He was accused of being a long-standing member of a “state-sponsored death squad” and allegedly involved in the killing of Baloch fighters Sangat Jabir Naseer and Sangat Faqir Jan. The group said he was executed following an “organizational decision.”
On 8 June, the group launched a series of attacks in the Tump region of Kech district. At 11:30 AM, a military post in Kalaho was targeted with rocket fire, reportedly injuring several personnel. Half an hour later, a second post in Asiababad was attacked with grenades and heavy weapons.
A third post in Heerabad was also struck, and surveillance cameras installed at the location were destroyed, the group said. Later that evening, rockets were fired at a military post located in the Gomazi area of Tump. Several soldiers were injured, according to the BLF.
At around 6:40 PM, the group said it launched another rocket attack on a post in the Pulabad, Kasano area of Tump, causing further material damage. Earlier that day, fighters reportedly attacked a checkpoint in the Kotan area of Zamuran, inflicting “human and material losses.”
In a separate operation on the same day, BLF fighters set up a checkpoint on the Dasht Berri highway—linked to the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)—and attacked a nearby Levies post. The group said it refrained from harming the personnel, stating they were unarmed and ethnically Baloch.
On 9 June, the group said it continued its operations with another rocket attack on a checkpoint in Narmuk, Zamuran. That same morning, BLF fighters allegedly set fire to a surveillance mobile tower in the Kohsar Bazar area of Panwan, Gwadar.
In the final attack, the group said it damaged two gas transport vehicles parked at a station in Nushki city.
“The Balochistan Liberation Front claims responsibility for all these operations,” said Major Gwahram Baloch. “We vow to continue our resistance until the liberation of Balochistan.”
At the time of publication, Pakistani authorities had not issued any official statement regarding the group’s claims.
