In yet another bold statement against Pakistan’s oppressive control over Pak-occupied Balochistan, the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has launched a series of coordinated attacks targeting both mobile communication infrastructure and occupying forces. These attacks once again highlight the Pakistan Army’s inability to maintain control in the face of growing resistance from Baloch fighters.
According to a press release issued by BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch, the fighters, known as Sarfaraz, launched three distinct assaults in Barkhan, Turbat, and Zamran, exposing the Army’s fragile hold over the region.
On September 7, at 4:00 PM, the BLF fighters attacked a Ufone mobile tower in Barkhan’s Mariwal area, destroying the tower and its machinery through fire and gunfire.
In a separate incident on August 30, at 8:30 PM, BLF forces targeted an FC (Frontier Corps) checkpoint in the Absar Duki Bazaar area of Turbat with a grenade, injuring two FC personnel.
In the third attack, the BLF destroyed a Pak Army-installed internet tower in the Dashtak area of Zamran. The fighters set fire to the tower and seized its solar panels and batteries. This action underscores the resistance’s ability to disrupt military operations and deny the Pak Army control over digital communications in the region.
The BLF made it clear that these attacks are part of their ongoing armed struggle to achieve an independent Balochistan. The spokesperson emphasized that the organization enjoys full support from the Baloch people, who have grown increasingly disillusioned with the oppressive and exploitative presence of the Pak military in the region. The BLF continues to strategically target military personnel, installations, and communication systems as part of their broader campaign to weaken Pakistan’s grip on POB.
Despite decades of military suppression, Pakistan’s Army has consistently failed to address the core grievances of the Baloch people. Instead of responding to calls for justice, the Army has resorted to further violence, abductions, and crackdowns, fueling the very insurgency it seeks to crush. The latest BLF attacks serve as a stark reminder of how deep-rooted the resentment has become, and how incapable the military is of addressing the political and social realities on the ground.
