Quetta, Jan 16 (NVI) In a daring operation, a large group of heavily-armed Baloch freedom fighters attacked a police station and freed dozens of compatriot detainees in Kharan in Pakistan-occupied Balochistan.
The detainees had been lodged in the police station illegally by the Pakistani forces, according to details available.
The Baloch freedom fighters swooped upon the Kharan city and soon after took control of the police station, overwhelming the police and other government forces there, according to the details.
As the operation was underway, a convoy of paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) attempted to move towards the police station but it was ambushed by the Baloch freedom fighters.
According to local media, the Pakistani forces suffered heavy casualties, with one Inspector General of FC and several other personnel getting injured or killed in the attack by the Baloch fighters.
The remaining personnel of the Pakistani forces fled.
This incident came amidst intensification of operations by the Baloch freedom fighters against the occupying Pakistani forces in Balochistan.
During this week, Baloch freedom fighters have carried out large-scale attacks on Pakistani forces, Pakistani institutions and companies exploiting the rich natural resources of Balochistan.
The Baloch fighters have also targeted the personnel engaged in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which is being built against the wishes of the local Baloch people.
On January 13, the fighters of Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) targeted the office of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI in Kharan city by detonating a bomb.
In another operation against Pakistani-Chinese joint exploitative projects, BLA fighters on January 13 carried out a powerful attack in Mashkel on a construction company working on CPEC.
They attacked the personnel and machinery engaged in building roads and other military installations and set fire to bulldozers and other heavy machinery. (NVI)
