Quetta, May 3 (NVI) Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed to have killed 13 Pakistani soldiers in a major clash in Balochistan in which the outfit lost three of its fighters.
In a belated statement, the BLA said the troops of the occupying Pakistan Army tried to surround the freedom fighters in Dannuk area of Turbat district in Balochistan during the intervening night of April 29-30.
“The clashes, which started at 3:30 am, continued until sunrise. Freedom fighters remained fixed in their positions for three hours and dealt fierce blows to the enemy,” BLA spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said.
During the operation, the BLA fighters also targeted occupying army’s convoy, he said.
In these battles, 13 personnel of the Pakistan Army were eliminated and several others were wounded, the spokesman said.
The BLA lost 3 freedom fighters, including Sangat Nabeel alias Ali, Sangat Feroz Sarban alias Nood Bandag and Sangat Muhammad Umar Zaka alias Guru, he said.
Earlier on April 8, BLA killed 9 Pakistani soldiers and injured several others in a clash that went on for several hours in Kapori area of Dukki in Balochistan
Three BLA freedom fighters — Sangat Abdul Wahab alias Deedag, Sangat Rahim Khan Marri alias Sarang and Sangat Zahid Ali alias Wash Dil—were martyred in this battle, Jeeyand Baloch said.
The BLA paid rich “tributes to all its freedom fighters who gave new life to the struggle for national liberation by sacrificing their precious lives,” he said.
“Despite the enemy’s modern war equipment and military superiority, our freedom fighters crushed the enemy’s arrogance with the weapons of determination, courage and belief,” the BLA spokesman said.
“These sacrifices of the martyrs are capital of our morale and the foundation of our resistance ideology, which is impossible to forget,” he said.
“BLA once again reiterates its resolve that we will complete this holy mission of the martyrs, demolish every front of the enemy and will breathe only upon the liberation of Baloch motherland from the chains of slavery,” he asserted. (NVI)
