Quetta, Sep 28 (NVI) Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed to have killed at least 15 Pakistani soldiers while thwarting an attempt of the military to reclaim Zehri town of Khuzdar district of Balochistan which has been under the control of the freedom fighters since August 11.
BLA spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said the freedom fighters ambushed a convoy of the Pakistani troops which was advancing towards Zehri, the second largest town of Khuzdar district, triggering a fierce battle on the night of September 26 and 27 (Friday-Saturday).
The Pakistani military contingent faced humiliating defeat and was forced to retreat, like several times earlier in the past 47 days.
A convoy of 10 enemy vehicles was ambushed by freedom fighters in Aanjira, with four vehicles coming under direct attack, the spokesman said about the latest incident.
“Baloch Liberation Army freedom fighters engaged advancing Pakistani troops in Aanjira and Ghazan areas of Zehri in a fierce battle,” the spokesman said.
Two military vehicles were completely destroyed and over 15 enemy personnel were eliminated in these attacks, he said.
Zehri has been under the control of Baloch freedom fighters since August 11. For the past 47 days, repeated enemy advances have been repelled and the forces forced to retreat, Jeeyand Baloch said. (NVI)
