The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), a prominent Baloch freedom fighter group, has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on a Pak military convoy in the Kharan district of Pak-occupied-Balochistan province.
In a statement issued to the media, Major Gwahram Baloch, the spokesman for the BLF, said their freedom fighters targeted a vehicle in a convoy of the occupying Pak Army on the Gwash Road in Kharan city on May 31 around 1:30 pm. The vehicle was hit by a remote-controlled bomb blast, resulting in its complete destruction.
This blast killed four personnel on board, and several others were injured. Asserting their responsibility, the BLF spokesman warned that the freedom fighters’ attacks on the occupying forces would continue until the “complete liberation of the land”.
Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest but least populated province, has grappled with a long-running freedom struggle. Various Baloch freedom fighter groups, including the BLF, have waged an armed struggle against the Army, for subjugation of the Baloch people and exploitation of the resource-rich region’s natural resources.
