The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has launched a series of attacks on Pak military personnel in the Panjgur, Kokkoh, and Turbat regions. According to Major Gwahram Baloch, the spokesperson for the BLF, the freedom fighters targeted military outposts and convoys in four separate incidents, resulting in the deaths of six personnel and injuries to five others.

In a statement issued to the media, Major Baloch detailed the attacks. He reported that on the afternoon of the most recent incident, BLF fighters ambushed a convoy of four motorcycles belonging to the Pak Army in the Kolwah Rodkan area of Kech, killing one personnel on the spot and injuring another.

On the evening of July 20, at approximately 5 p.m., BLF snipers attacked a Pak military post in Kirk Dal Gachak, Panjgur, killing one soldier. A subsequent assault with modern automatic weapons killed another soldier and wounded one more.

Further attacks occurred on Sunday night. At 8:50 p.m., BLF fighters attacked a military outpost in Pul Abad, Turbat, with automatic weapons, killing one soldier and injuring two others. At 9 p.m, another outpost in Malant, Turbat, was targeted, resulting in the deaths of two soldiers and injuries to one.

Multiple Strikes on Pak Forces

Following these attacks, the Pak military reportedly launched retaliatory operations in the area, targeting the general population to obscure their losses.

The spokesperson emphasized that the BLF is a people’s army dedicated to achieving Pak-occupied-Balochistan’s independence with the support of its citizens. The BLF has successfully confronted the Pak military on multiple fronts and vows to continue its struggle until freedom is achieved.

Independence groups like the BLF have been engaged in a long-standing revolution against the Pakistan Army. Since 1948, the Pakistan Army has forcefully occupied the resource-rich region of Balochistan and, to exploit it indefinitely, has launched scathing attacks on the Baloch community. The BLF has declared its intention to carry out further intensified attacks against the Pak forces in the future, promising to exact retribution for every act of oppression against their nation.

Pak establishment has threatened transport companies, warning them not to provide buses for the Baloch National Gathering scheduled for July 28 in Gwadar. Additionally, the Kech district administration has also banned the collection of donations for the event.

Announced earlier this month, the Baloch National Gathering, known as the Baloch Raaji Muchi, aims to unite the Baloch people against Army oppression, including enforced disappearances, torture, targeted killings, and economic exploitation. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has been actively organizing corner meetings across Pak-occupied-Balochistan to raise awareness about the upcoming gathering.

For over seven decades, POB has faced severe oppression and exploitation, akin to an imperial colony. Despite being the rightful inheritors of this land for thousands of years, the Baloch people live like refugees in their own homeland. Enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, forced displacements, and military operations are common, leaving the Baloch community in constant fear and insecurity.

Gwadar, the centerpiece of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), struggles with basic amenities such as clean drinking water and reliable electricity, which is available for only four to six hours a day. Fishermen are being deprived of their traditional livelihoods, and residents face daily harassment and checkpoints, turning Gwadar into a heavily militarized zone.

Baloch Raaji Muchi

The Baloch people question the nature of this development, which has brought them suffering and turned their lives into a nightmare. The so-called megaprojects appear to benefit everyone except the local population, whose resources are being exploited while their quality of life deteriorates.

The Army values Pak-occupied-Balochistan’s land and resources more than its people. The CPEC and other megaprojects have coincided with an increase in violence and repression against the Baloch. The entire region has been transformed into a prison under the pretext of security, exacerbating the hardships faced by the Baloch community.
