Balochistan’s separatist militants are celebrating a wave of successful operations against Pakistani security forces, with groups like BLF and BRG detailing devastating impacts from recent ambushes. The claims come amid heightened tensions in the strategically vital province.
Leading the charge, the Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) owned up to a sophisticated attack on a military camp in Gwadar district’s remote Shadi Kaur Dam zone. Major Gwaharam Baloch, the group’s voice, described how fighters employed light machine guns, rockets, and automatics in a flanking maneuver. The result: two soldiers slain, others hurt, and facilities reduced to rubble.
Shifting to Kohlu district, BLF executed a siege on the Frontier Corps’ Lond Nausham camp, firing volleys of rockets that penetrated defenses and wrecked stockpiles. ‘Our coordinated onslaught caused severe disruptions,’ the militants proclaimed.
In Nasirabad, Baloch Republican Guards (BRG) fighters lay in wait for a police patrol by Mir Hasan station. Activating a remote-controlled bomb at the perfect moment, they killed cops and demolished the police rig, as per spokesperson Dostain Baloch.
On March 1, United Baloch Army (UBA) operatives toppled a surveillance tower in Kacchi’s Mach area, strategically placed to spy on movements near an army camp between Ab-e-Gam and Geshani. The four-camera setup is out of commission, UBA’s Mazar Baloch stated proudly.
Portrayed as blows for Baloch sovereignty, these escapades follow the BLA’s ‘Operation Herof’ Phase 2 kickoff on January 31, marking a dramatic rise in assaults that challenge Pakistan’s authority and fuel debates on regional stability.
