Quetta, Feb 3 (NVI) On the 4th day of Operation Herof 2.0 today, fighters of Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) continued to control several areas, including the Noshki city, of Balochistan, the outfit said and claimed to have killed at least 280 personnel of Pakistan Army and various other forces as per “preliminary and conservative estimates”.
The BLA said the Pakistani military, suffering defeat and embarrassment on the battleground, has resorted to targeting civilian areas of Balochistan by helicopter shelling and drone attacks, killing several innocent people in the process.
“Operation Herof Phase Two has entered its fourth day and continues at full intensity across various areas of Balochistan,” BLA said in its latest statement issued some minutes back.
In Noshki city and several other locations, Baloch Liberation Army fighters are holding strong positions and maintaining control, it said.
“According to the ground situation, occupying forces are facing intense pressure, repeated setbacks, and disarray on multiple fronts, while Baloch fighters continue to repel and neutralize the enemy’s military advances through sustained resistance,” said the statement issued by BLA spokesman Jeeyand Baloch.
Citing “preliminary and cautious assessments”, he said approximately 280 personnel and operatives of the occupying Pakistani army, FC, police, CTD, and army-backed death squads have so far been killed by the BLA fighters so far.
“These figures are not final, and given the evolving ground realities, further increases in the enemy’s human and material losses are expected,” he said.
Complete and verified details of the enemy’s losses will be released to the media at an appropriate time after consolidation, the spokesman added.
“During Operation Herof, 35 fighters of the Baloch Liberation Army have so far attained martyrdom, including 18 fidayeen of the Majeed Brigade, 10 members of the Fateh Squad, and 7 fighters of the STOS unit,” he informed.
Detailed and final information regarding the martyrs will be formally released later, the spokesman said.
“On the battlefield, the Pakistani army has suffered a decisive defeat in direct, face-to-face combat with Baloch fighters.
“In an attempt to conceal its military failures, the occupying Pakistani forces have begun targeting Baloch civilian populations, carrying out drone strikes and shelling through helicopters.
As a result, multiple innocent civilians have been killed. These actions are a clear reflection of the enemy’s moral, military, and political bankruptcy,” Jeeyand Baloch said. (NVI)
