In a series of coordinated strikes, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has launched three attacks against Pak military forces and their local collaborators in the Panjgur, Nushki and Turbat regions. The attacks, which occurred over the past 24 hours, underscore the escalating violence and lawlessness fuelled by the Pakistan Army’s relentless campaign of repression in POB.
The first assault took place in the Prom area of Panjgur when BLA fighters used a remote-controlled IED to target a convoy of Pak forces moving through the area. The explosion resulted in significant damage to one military vehicle and left two soldiers dead and three others injured. This attack highlights the growing resistance against the Pak military’s occupation, as the region remains under the tight grip of Pakistan’s colonial-style occupation forces, who have long disregarded the rights of the indigenous Baloch people.
The second attack occurred the previous night in Nushki, where BLA fighters targeted a Pak military post in the Ghalangor area. Armed with advanced weaponry, the fighters struck swiftly, killing one soldier and injuring at least two others. This operation further exposes the vulnerability of the Pak military in POB.

In the third attack, the BLA targeted and killed a collaborator, Gharam, in the Nods area of Turbat. Gharam, who had been working with the military and intelligence agencies, was directly involved in aiding the forces of occupation and participating in the oppression of the Baloch people. His involvement in blackmailing residents, assisting in military operations, and engaging in criminal activities, including drug trafficking, was a betrayal to the local population. Gharam’s death marks a significant blow to the network of collaborators who serve the interests of the Pak military at the expense of their own people.
This latest round of attacks is a stark reminder of the Pak military’s brutal and unchecked oppression in POB, where extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, and the displacement of entire communities are routine tactics. The Pak military’s continued reliance on proxy collaborators to maintain control over POB has only deepened the resentment and resistance among the Baloch population, who have suffered under decades of occupation and violence.
The BLA’s actions serve as a direct response to the ongoing brutality of the Pak Army for carrying out genocidal tactics against the Baloch people. With its heavy-handed military operations and its systematic effort to crush Baloch autonomy, the Army has exacerbated the conflict in the region, creating a breeding ground for further violence.
