at 12:32 am

Quetta, Oct 27 (NVI) Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) tonight said more than 80 personnel of Pakistani military and intelligence agencies were killed and extensive destruction was caused to the enemy’s assets during its 20-hour-long operations in Gwadar in Balochistan which began on October 22.

“BLF special units carried out a comprehensive, coordinated, organized and effective attack on centers of the occupying Pakistani army, colonial intelligence network and exploitative institutions in Gwadar,” its spokesman Major Gwahram Baloch said in a statement.

“In the combined operations of all BLF units during Operation Almas, more than 80 military and intelligence personnel of the occupying Pakistani army, including a Military Intelligence (MI) captain, ISI officers and SSG commandos, were killed and dozens were seriously wounded,” he said.

The sniper team killed 6 personnel during the operation, he said.

He added that 12 armored vehicles, supply trucks and reinforcement convoys of the occupying Pakistani army were completely destroyed and disabled.

At least 4 attacking enemy quadcopters and 2 surveillance drones were shot down in the air during the engagement, the spokesman said, adding 5 large bowsers and several commercial trailers and trucks were also burned.

The Muzhani and Gabd Kalatu police stations were seized, and the FWO and ISI main headquarters, offices, barracks and several security posts were destroyed with explosions.

“The historic, organized, effective, coordinated and comprehensive operation” was launched at 4:00 pm (Pakistan time) on October 22, 2026, against the occupying Pakistani state apparatus in Gwadar and the adjoining coastal region, the BLF spokesman said.

“The operation is the most organized, coordinated and far-reaching attack to date against the occupying Pakistani state, its usurping army, its intelligence network, its exploitative economic institutions and the local puppet administration. It expresses the organization’s resolve and capability.

“The revolutionary participation of fearless Baloch women shoulder to shoulder with men in the struggle for Baloch national freedom, national survival and the defense of the coast and resources heralds the end of the usurping colonizer.

Highlighting that the operation was named after BLF’s “fearless and brave guerrilla commander” Almas Baloch, the spokesman said the woman fighter who sacrificed her life during the attack had been active in the armed struggle for the last 8 years with committed ideology.

Giving details of the ‘Operation Almas’, Major Gwahram Baloch said alongside the attack on the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) main military camp in Gwadar, coordinated attacks were made on the occupying army’s positions in the Gabd and Rimdan 250 areas, where the enemy suffered heavy human and material losses and its defensive units were badly harmed.

The attack on FWO began with the detonation of an explosives-laden vehicle and ended by acting on the philosophy of last-bullet, he said.

After holding complete control of the FWO camp for more than 20 hours, all the fighters ran out of ammunition and their bullets had reached the last limit, he said.

“Then they made their final contact with the operational command and gave their historic message, that they were taking the historic step of sacrificing themselves, dedicating themselves to the cause of national honor and free Balochistan, following the revolutionary philosophy of ‘last bullet’,” the spokesman said.

At the start of Operation Almas, another unit of fighters surrounded the Gabd police station on all sides, he said.

“In line with humane, moral and national principles, the fighters urged the local personnel inside the station to surrender so there would be no loss of life, but they made a failed attempt to resist as instruments of the occupying state,” he added.

During the attack, several personnel fled into Iranian territory and took shelter in Iranian army positions. After the attack on the camp, the fighters stopped and searched trailers, trucks and other vehicles involved in the plunder of national resources in colonial trade and set fire to the vehicles linked to the occupying state’s economic interests, he said.

When the fighters were withdrawing after concluding the attack, they ambushed a convoy of 3 vehicles carrying personnel who were coming to aid the occupying army.

In this 2-hour clash, dozens of occupying army personnel were killed and wounded, and all their vehicles were damaged. (NVI)
