The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has proclaimed the end of ‘Operation Herof-2’, hailing it as a resounding success that exposed vulnerabilities in Pakistan’s military apparatus across Balochistan. This ambitious urban guerrilla campaign unfolded over seven days, engulfing over a dozen cities in coordinated mayhem.
Baloch warriors struck with precision at police stations, army outposts, and civilian zones, seizing temporary dominance and repelling counterattacks. In a stark revelation, spokesperson Jiyand Baloch detailed how units maintained positions for six days straight, dealing a humiliating retreat to superior Pakistani numbers.
The toll, as per BLA tallies, exceeds 362 fatalities among Pakistani ranks—army personnel, paramilitary, law enforcement, and pro-state gunmen. Seventeen captives were released as a gesture, but others await justice for purported involvement in mass killings and disappearances.
Articulating the mission’s pillars, the group emphasized urban assault proficiency, solidarity among Baloch masses, and a direct assault on perceived invincible occupation forces. These claims arrive as Balochistan grapples with cycles of violence and alleged state terror.
As whispers of impending offensives linger, this operation not only boosts insurgent morale but also amplifies calls for addressing root causes like political marginalization and resource exploitation in Pakistan’s most troubled frontier.
