The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has released a one-hour-and-20-minute video documenting what it described as “Operation Herof Phase Two”, a coordinated series of attacks carried out between January 31 and February 6 across 14 districts of Balochistan.
The video, published by the group’s media wing Hakkal, shows preparations, training exercises and footage of armed operations in Quetta, Noshki, Gwadar, Pasni, Mastung, Kalat, Turbat, Mand and other areas.
In the opening section, male and female fighters from different units, including “fidayeen” who took part in the operation, are shown undergoing training and preparing with modern weapons.
Fighters are also seen carrying out physical exercises, performing Balochi dance and preparing to leave for the operation.
In one part of the video, female “fidayeen” are shown gathering wood before taking part in training. The footage also includes a message from “fidayee” Hawa Baloch, who urges Baloch women to join the war alongside men.
“We want to tell Baloch women that they should become part of the war alongside their Baloch brothers,” she says in the video, adding that women should “intensify the war” and show the enemy that “Baloch women are not weak”.
In another part of the video, BLA chief Bashir Zeb Baloch is seen with a unit of fighters equipped with modern weapons.
The video then moves to scenes from the start of “Operation Herof Two”, showing armed fighters spreading across different areas of Balochistan, entering highways, markets and urban centres.
In several scenes, members of the public are seen gathering around the fighters, speaking to them, embracing them and kissing their hands.
The footage also shows bodies of Pakistani forces’ personnel, burning government vehicles and properties set on fire.
In Quetta, armed fighters are shown patrolling Sariab Road, Qambrani Road and other areas, while the video depicts attacks on banks, police stations, the customs office and other government buildings.
The video also includes scenes from Noshki, Gwadar, Pasni, Turbat, Mand, Mastung and Kalat, showing fighters carrying out attacks, maintaining highway blockades, checking vehicles and moving through different towns and cities during the operation.
In Gwadar and Pasni, the footage shows “fidayeen” carrying out attacks from different directions, explosions, firing and smoke rising from government properties. In one scene, fighters are shown evacuating a family to safety.
The video also shows attacks on military camps in Tump, Mand and Turbat, as well as scenes of fighters patrolling in large numbers in Tump, where a main FC camp is shown heavily damaged.
