In a brave act of defiance, the freedom fighters of Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) launched a targeted assault on a post of Pakistan Army, resulting in the death of three Army personnel. The attack took place in the Sadiq area of Zamaran, where BLA commanders orchestrated a meticulously planned assault on a position held by the Pakistan Army. The fighters used rockets and other heavy weaponry in their offensive, aiming at a strategic post held by the Army in the resource-rich province of Pak-occupied-Balochistan.
As a consequence of the attack, at least three personnel of Pakistan Army lost their lives, and three others sustained injuries. The Baloch Liberation Army, in a statement, acknowledged its involvement in the attack and reiterated its steadfast commitment to its cause. The group expressed its determination to continue its operations until the complete withdrawal of the Pakistan Army from Balochistan is achieved.
Since 27 March 1948, the Pakistan Army has, forcefully occupied the resource rich region Balochistan, oppressing Baloch community through daily home raids, disappearances, staged encounters, target killings, torture, humiliation at checkpoints, and kidnappings for ransom.
The Baloch people have a distinct language and culture, and they have long chafed under Pak “establishment”. The Pakistan Army is targeting and monitoring Baloch people, and anyone who has the potential to raise questions is either killed or abducted. In the face of little willingness from the international community to address the concerns of the Baloch people, the BLA remains resolute and has vowed to continue its fight for independence.
