The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has launched a deadly IED attack on a Pakistan Army convoy in the Baledah Gali area of Kech. According to BLF spokesperson Major Gwharam Baloch, the attack resulted in the complete destruction of one vehicle and the death of all personnel on board.
In a statement, Major Gwharam Baloch detailed the incident, stating that at 8:30 a.m, freedom fighters targeted a convoy of forty Pakistan military vehicles heading to Zamran for an operation. The attack resulted in the deaths of a junior military officer and eight soldiers: Junaid, Asif Rashid, Waheed, Usman Ghani, Asim, Nader, and Rahim.
The Balochistan Liberation Front’s fighters are targeting the Pak Army on military and intelligence bases throughout Pak-occupied-Balochistan, causing significant losses. The Pak Army has lost morale and senses due to our persistent attacks,” said Major Gwharam Baloch.
He said that the Pak military is committing raids, forced disappearances, and other crimes in civilian areas as a means to combat the independence movement, calling these actions failed attempts to boost their declining morale.
People’s War
The BLF spokesperson emphasized that the ongoing conflict in Balochistan is a people’s war. “The BLF is advancing this war with the help and cooperation of the Baloch people. We will intensify our attacks on the Army and its allies in the future,” he added.
In a strongly worded statement, the BLF also warned all traders aiding and abetting Pakistan’s projects to stay away or face serious consequences.
The Balochistan Liberation Front has taken full responsibility for the attack and reiterated its commitment to targeting Pakistan’s interests in the region until a free and prosperous Balochistan is achieved.
Since 1948, the Pak Army has brutally occupied the Balochistan region, wreaking havoc on the Baloch community. Tactics such as enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, raids, military operations, and the exploitation of mineral resources have been employed to suppress the local population. In response, pro-independence groups like the BLF have resisted the occupation through armed attacks on Pak establishment and continued resistance efforts.
