The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks targeting Pakistani security forces, police personnel and communications infrastructure in different parts of Balochistan.
In a statement issued to the media, BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch said the group’s fighters carried out an ambush on a Pakistani military convoy on 10 May 2026 in the Baincha area of Surab along the RCD Highway.
According to the statement, rockets, light machine guns and other automatic weapons were used in the attack while the convoy was travelling between military camps. The BLF claimed that two military vehicles were heavily damaged, five soldiers were killed and four others injured.
The spokesperson further stated that reinforcements from a nearby checkpoint attempted to advance towards the scene shortly after the attack, but were forced to retreat following further clashes with BLF fighters. The military has not publicly commented on the claims.
In a separate incident, the BLF claimed responsibility for an attack on a Frontier Corps (FC) checkpoint located on the main bridge in the Tagazzi area of Kharan on 10 May. The group alleged that rockets, grenade launchers and automatic weapons were used in the assault, resulting in the deaths of two FC personnel and injuries to three others.
The group also claimed that its fighters targeted a communications tower equipped with surveillance equipment in the Malaar Damb area of Kolwah on 7 May. According to the statement, the tower was disabled and related machinery was set on fire.
The BLF further alleged that Pakistani forces’ personnel from a nearby military camp attempted to surround the attackers following the operation, leading to an exchange of fire in which the group claimed Pakistani forces suffered casualties before withdrawing.
In another incident, the BLF stated that its fighters intercepted a police Eagle Force patrol in Mastung on 6 May. The group claimed it temporarily detained police personnel and seized a Kalashnikov rifle before later releasing the officers “on humanitarian grounds” after questioning them.
The BLF said it accepted responsibility for all of the reported attacks in Surab, Kharan, Kolwah and Mastung.
Separately, the Baloch Republican Guards (BRG) claimed responsibility for an attack on electricity infrastructure in Naseerabad district.
In a statement issued by BRG spokesperson Dostain Baloch, the group said its fighters planted explosive devices on two electricity transmission towers in the Mirwah area carrying power from the Uchh Power Plant to Quetta.
According to the statement, the explosions destroyed two towers and severely damaged two others.
The BRG stated that it would continue such attacks until what it described as the “freedom of Balochistan”. No official statement from the authorities regarding the incidents had been issued at the time of reporting.
