In a recent report, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a pro-independence organization operating in Pakistan-occupied- Balochistan province, has released an infographic detailing its activities for the first six months of 2024. The group files 95 attacks across 43 areas, including three described as self-sacrifice.
According to the BLA, these operations resulted in 353 casualties among their opponents the Pak Army and its affiliated groups, with 19 individuals for espionage. The group also reports the capture of five camps belonging to Pak security forces and the seizure of 20 weapons.
The BLA further asserts that it arrested 39 Army personnel during this period.
Since 1948, the Pakistan Army has forcefully occupied the resource-rich region of POB and, to exploit it indefinitely, has launched scathing attacks on the Baloch community.
Therefore, organisations such as BLA conducts resistance against Pakistan Army that is employing tactics such as enforced disappearances, marginalization, and extrajudicial killings to suppress the local Baloch community.
