The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has released photographs and biographical details of three more members who, according to the group, were killed during the second phase of “Operation Herof,” as part of an ongoing series highlighting participants in the operation.
In a statement issued through its media wing “Hakkal,” the organization identified the individuals as Balaach Shah, Shehak Baloch alias Sabzo, and Hamid Bugti alias Ghani, providing accounts of their backgrounds, roles within the group, and involvement in recent armed activities.
According to the statement, Balaach Shah belonged to the Bostan area of Tump and joined the BLA in August 2023. The group said he later became part of the Majeed Brigade in October the same year after completing what it described as military and ideological preparation. During the second phase of “Operation Herof,” he was assigned operational command responsibilities at the Dalbandin front, where the organization claimed he oversaw planning and field coordination while participating on the front line. The group said he was killed during fighting at the site.
The BLA also released details about Shehak Baloch alias Sabzo, a resident of Turbat who allegedly joined the organization in 2024. The statement described him as an active frontline participant who was previously injured during clashes in an earlier phase of “Operation Herof” but returned to combat after recovering. The group claimed he carried out a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) attack targeting a military camp at the Dalbandin front during the second phase of the operation, where he was killed.
The third individual identified was Hamid Bugti alias Ghani, a resident of Mach in the Bolan region. According to the BLA, he joined the organization in January 2024 and later became part of the Majeed Brigade in June 2024. The group described him as a trained fighter with experience in guerrilla warfare tactics and claimed he had participated in multiple operations in the Bolan area.
The statement further alleged that Bugti had earlier taken part in the second phase of “Operation Dara-e-Bolan”, including the hijacking of the Jaffar Express train, and later joined fighting at the Dalbandin front during the second phase of “Operation Herof.” The organization said he was killed while engaged in combat there.
The BLA’s latest release forms part of a broader campaign in which the group has been publishing profiles of members it says were killed during recent coordinated attacks across several areas.
