Quetta, Feb 2 (NVI) In a fresh update, Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) tonight said its ‘Operation Herof Phase II’ is going on across different parts of Balochistan even after 40 hours, during which more than 200 personnel of the Pakistani forces have been killed and a large amount of Pakistani properties have been destroyed.

The BLA has lost 18 of its fighters in these operations spread across 48 locations since the start of the coordinated and simultaneous attacks on the morning of January 31.

The freedom-seeking outfit also announced successful completion of the operations in various places, including Kharan, Mastung, Dalbandin, Tump and Pasni, saying the “designated objectives” have been achieved there and the fighters have returned to their secure locations.

“In areas where the completion of operations has not been announced, the situation remains active and operations are ongoing,” said the statement issued by BLA spokesman Jeeyand Baloch.

According to preliminary and cautious estimates, more than 200 personnel of occupying Pakistani army, police and Frontier Corps have been eliminated so far, while 17 personnel have been captured, he said.

“These are conservative figures, whereas the overall casualties and property losses of the enemy are far greater,” he said.

Complete details of the enemy’s losses will be released to the media at an appropriate time after compilation, the spokesman said.

“During the operation, 18 fighters of Baloch Liberation Army have been martyred so far, including 11 fidayeen of Majeed Brigade, 4 fighters of Fateh Squad and 3 fighters from the STOS unit,” he informed.

Details of the martyrs and final information will be released later, he added.

“Baloch Liberation Army appeals to the Baloch nation to remain cautious, maintain a safe distance from the enemy and continue providing support and assistance to the fighters in areas where the end of operations has not yet been announced, as has been done so far.

“Operation Herof remains ongoing and further updates will be provided at an appropriate time,” Jeeyand Baloch said. (NVI)
