The spokesperson for the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a pro-independence group, claimed responsibility for two separate attacks against Pak Army and their collaborators in the southwestern Pak-occupied-Balochistan province.
In a statement released to media outlets, BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch said their fighters carried out an attack in the area of Mashkay in Awaran and killed two members of the so-called death squad formed by the occupying Pak Army and intelligence agencies.
The men identified as Doulat Mohammad Hasni and Murid Mohammad Hasni, were members of a paramilitary group that conducts raids, enforced disappearances and violence against civilians in Mashkay and surrounding areas under the leadership of an individual named Mir Dino.
The BLA fighters seized weapons from the two men during the operation in the Nokjo Puchr area of Mashkay. He said that the Army-backed militia is forcing poor Baloch into labor and carrying out unjustified violence.
Moreover, Jeeyand Baloch said that BLA fighters attacked a Pak military post in Dukki district using modern weapons and grenade launchers, killing one personnel. He said the attack also inflicted further human and material losses on Pak forces.
The Baloch Liberation Army has waged a protracted resistance seeking independence for the mineral-rich Balochistan province from brutal and oppressive Pak Army rule who conducts human rights abuses, violence, marginalisation and discrimination against the ethnic Baloch community.
