Quetta, Apr 16: Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed to have killed 29 and injured several other personnel of the occupying Pakistani forces in 14 operations across Balochistan over a period of 12 days.
During these operations, full control was established over various highways and occupying forces’ checkposts, where blockades were set up, and 13 Levies and police personnel were taken into custody, BLA spokesman Jeeyand Baloch told NVI.
In these attacks, the occupying army’s supply lines were also targeted and destroyed at two locations, he said.
These 14 operations were carried out by BLA across various areas of Balochistan between April 3 and 14, including Surab, Kharan, Washuk, Mastung, Uthal, Jhal Magsi, and Panjgur, he said.
In the intense clashes with the occupying Pakistan Army, BLA lost 3 brave fighters, identified by the spokesman as Saleem alias Qazi Naveed, Ali Dost alias Zakir, and Samiullah alias Hakkal.
“Through these recent operations, the Baloch Liberation Army makes it clear that our war for the defence of the motherland has now entered a decisive phase, where the land, highways, air and seas are proving to be graveyards for the enemy,” the spokesman said.

The spokesman said the BLA again warns “the soldiers of the occupying Pakistani army to stop being fodder for this unnatural and forced occupation and not to waste their lives as part of this colonial war based on Baloch-enmity.”
The spokesman added that these personnel of the Pakistani military “are merely playing the role of mercenary soldiers being used by an occupying state for its expansionist ambitions before being abandoned.”
It is in their “best interest to abandon this failed attempt to enforce oppression and return to your homes in Punjab to earn an honorable living, so that you may live a peaceful and secure life with your families. Otherwise, this scorching land of Balochistan will be made even tighter for you, and the only way back will be in coffins,” Jeeyand Baloch said in a statement.
