The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has killed over forty Pakistan Army soldiers, including commandoes and officers in multiple attacks during the last few days across Pakistan-occupied Balochistan. BLA is fighting for Balochistan’s independence from Pakistan and has killed thousands of Pakistani soldiers over the past decade.
In the first wave of attack BLA targeted Paki soldiers at Kohak in Kalat on July 25 and eliminated nine Pakistan Army soldiers. “…(the), occupying Pakistan Army tried to advance in the Kohak area of Kalat which was ambushed and targeted by freedom fighters. This attack continued for more than forty minutes, in which nine personnel of occupying Pakistan Army were eliminated on the spot, while several injured personnel escaped. In these clashes, Sangat Sohaib Baloch alias Ameer Bakhsh attained the status of martyrdom,” said Jeeyand Baloch, spokesperson of Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in a statement.
A couple of days earlier BLA had attacked Pakistan Army across Mastung, Kalat, Zamuran, Buleda and Quetta killing twenty three soldiers that included Major Ziad and a death squad agent at Noshki. ‘Death Squads’ are a front for the Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI who carry out targeted killings of Baloch freedom fighters and intelligentsia.
Muawiya Jamaldini was a death squad agent and was leading an armed gang in Noshki involved in targeted killings of Baloch youth and elders. “They were forcibly disappearing youth and harassing the families of Baloch martyrs. The agent was involved in blackmailing women, land grabbing and extortion under the patronage of occupying Pakistan Army.
BLA’s intelligence wing, ZIRAB, was monitoring every movement of agent Muawiya Jamaldini. Muawiya Jamaldini neutralized for committing treason and atrocities against Baloch people. ZIRAB is also monitoring other associates of the gang whose fate will soon be like Muawiya Jamaldini,” said BLA spokesperson in his statement.
On July 19 the Paki forces had launched a large-scale military offensive in the mountain range of Noshki, supported by a fleet of helicopters and drones. In this battle BLA freedom fighters eliminated seven Pakistani soldiers, while four BLA fighters embraced martyrdom.
