The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for a rocket attack on a Pak military outpost in Kolwa area of Pak-occupied-Balochistan province, stating that three soldiers were killed in the assault.
In a statement issued, BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch said their fighters targeted the outpost located at Shoruk near a hotel in Kolwa region using rockets and heavy weapons on Saturday.
“The security bunker of the post was destroyed by the rocket attack, killing three personnel inside,” the spokesperson said, adding that the Pak forces suffered further human and material losses in the strike.
Jeeyand asserted that the BLA takes full responsibility for carrying out this attack. “Our operations will continue until an independent homeland is achieved,” he warned.
This action is the result of forceful occupation and neglect of the resource-rich region of Balochistan, which led Baloch revolutionary groups like the BLA to rise and demand independence from Pak Army rule. Since 1948, Pak Army has committed numerous atrocities and suppressed the Baloch community.
Pak Army has resorted to various oppressive tactics. These include enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the abduction of students. Additionally, reports suggest Pakistan’s support for death squads, further exacerbating the situation.
