In a brazen escalation of Baloch insurgency, the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has publicly shouldered blame for twin assaults on Pakistani forces in Turbat and Panjgur. Casualties mount, infrastructure crumbles, and civilian woes deepen under military clampdowns.
Spokesman Major Gwahram Baloch’s media release paints a vivid picture. On Tuesday, BLF guerrillas fired nine rounds from grenade launchers into FC intelligence offices at Chitkan, Panjgur district. The outfit hails it as a triumph yielding substantial enemy casualties and ruinous damage.
Simultaneously, in Turbat’s Absar—near Kohda Yusuf—an IED ripped through a passing military convoy. Three guards perished, two more hurt in the remote-triggered blast that zeroed in on a key vehicle amid bikes and trucks.
BLF’s dual claim—the FC intel strike and convoy ambush—heralds a new offensive phase in their separatist war. Balochistan’s volatility intensifies as such daring raids expose security lapses.
Authories retaliate with a Zehri, Khuzdar curfew: no markets, no buses, no movement. Ramadan fasting families endure shortages of bread, dairy, produce, drugs. Laborers lose livelihoods; the ill can’t seek care.
Humanitarian cries rise for curfew waivers. History repeats—a month-long prior lockdown saw drone casualties. Noski’s ongoing siege mirrors the misery, painting a grim portrait of control through isolation.
