Baloch Liberation Army Now A Force to Recon with
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) over the years has grown from a rag tag crowd to a well organized fighting force giving serious resistance to the Paki Occupation Forces.
Earlier acting in very small groups they followed a hit and run tactics, which caused minor pin pricks to the Occupation Forces and its administration. However now the BLA have begun to carry out well coordinated attacks against Pakistani Army and Pakistani security forces and infrastructure across all the districts of Balochistan.
BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch,in a Statement has said that the Liberation Army has carried out eight distinct operations in recent days, targeting Paki Army personnel, military vehicles, supply convoys, and individuals alleged to be assisting the Pakistani military.
These actions by the BLA have begun serious disruption of logistics and weaken Pakistan’s military capability in the region. The spokesperson reiterated that even individuals assisting the Occupation army—whether through logistical support, rations, or intelligence sharing—would be regarded as legitimate targets.
One of the most significant operations recently conducted occurred in Panjgur’s Paroom area, where the BLA used a remote-controlled improvised explosive device (IED) against a Pakistani army vehicle.
The ambush resulted in the deaths of sixPaki soldiers and the complete destruction of the vehicle. In another high-profile operation in the Kolpur area of Kachi, the BLA targeted bomb disposal personnel engaged in clearing explosives along a rail track, killing one soldier, followed by a second attack in the same locality on August 28, which caused further casualties and material losses.
Expanding its campaign to the provincial capital, Quetta, BLA fighters intercepted police personnel in Mian Ghundi, seizing three Kalashnikov rifles before releasing the officers after warning them against participating in operations against the Baloch population. On Thursday night, a grenade assault was reported at the Bandri army camp in Jeewani city, Gwadar, with the BLA claiming to have inflicted casualties on the stationed forces.
In addition to direct military engagements, the BLA targeted suspected collaborators and critical supply routes. On August 21, the group had killed an individual identified as Munir in Kharan’s Guwash area, accusing him of working as an informant for Pakistani military intelligence.
Subsequently, on August 23, BLA fighters destroyed logistical support infrastructure by burning three trucks and a crane transporting supplies for the army in Buleda’s Kochig area, while two more supply vehicles were similarly set ablaze in Dalbandin, located in Chagai district, the same day.
Collectively, these incidents highlight the increased intensity of the Liberation fight in Balochistan and reflect the BLA’s sustained campaign to weaken Pakistan’s military presence across multiple key districts including Panjgur, Kachi, Quetta, Jeewani, Kharan, Buleda, and Dalbandin.
The coordinated nature of the attacks, the choice of targets, and the combative rhetoric issuing from their leadership emphasize the BLA objective of exerting sustained pressure on the Pakistani Occupation Forces while simultaneously attempting to deter local collaboration with Paki foisted Administration.
