The spokesperson mentioned that their fighters had strategically ambushed the area, launching the attack as soon as the officers entered the post.
Attack on Pakistan Army
Simultaneously, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) announced in a press release on Friday that their fighters targeted a Pakistan Army post in Sibi during an attack on Thursday night. BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch reported that their fighters used automatic weapons to attack the Army post near the railway station in the suburbs of Dhadar. The assault resulted in the immediate death of two personnel and injuries to several others.
As of now, the Pakistan armed forces have not issued any comments regarding the claims made by the Baloch freedom groups. Both the BLF and BLA have expressed their determination to continue these attacks on the Pakistan Army until achieving the independence of Balochistan.
Pak-occupied Balochistan is enduring violence for decades under the Pak Army. Baloch community is indiscriminately shot, abducted and extrajudicially killed. Once a resource rich province, now lies in the ruins because of bullets from the Army.
