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.
The bodies of four unidentified people have been recovered from two separate locations in Kalat district, Balochistan, and shifted to nearby government health facilities for medico-legal procedures and identification.
According to police sources, three bodies were found in the Chhappar area of Kalat, while another was recovered from Malangzai in Manguchar.
Police sources said the three bodies recovered from Chhappar were shifted to the District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital in Kalat, while the body found in Malangzai was taken to a Rural Health Centre (RHC). The identification process is under way.
Police sources further stated that all four individuals appeared to have been subjected to torture and shot dead. Their identities and the motives behind the killings remain unknown.
The recovery of unidentified bodies has been reported in various parts of Balochistan over the years. Some individuals found dead in such circumstances have later been identified as people who had previously been reported missing. Families of missing persons and human rights groups have repeatedly alleged that some were victims of enforced disappearance and extrajudicial killings.
On the previous day, ten bodies were recovered in Barkhan district. One of the deceased has so far been identified as a person who had allegedly been forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces.
