Quetta, Mar 17: Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) tonight said it killed 55 personnel of the occupying Pakistani forces in 18 military operations over the last 10 days across Balochistan.
Between March 6 and March 16, the fighters of BLA carried out 17 coordinated military operations in Khuzdar, Surab, Shahrag, Turbat, Karkh, Pasni, Quetta, Panjgur, Kharan, Gwadar and Dukki, said its spokesman Jeeyand Baloch.
These operations targeted the occupying Pakistani army, agents of intelligence agencies, Coast Guards, and enemy installations, while establishing effective strategic control over the CPEC route, he said.
In these attacks, a total of 55 personnel from the occupying forces and intelligence agencies were killed, and dozens were injured, the spokesman said in a statement.
The details are as follows:
March 6: Multiple rounds were fired from grenade launchers at a post of the occupying Pakistani army in the Katan area of Khuzdar, causing casualties and financial loss to the enemy.
March 7: In Surab, Baloch sarmachars took into custody the armored vehicle of the Commissioner Makran, along with a gunman and driver, while they were traveling from Quetta to Turbat. Numerous bottles of alcohol and narcotics were recovered from the vehicle, serving as evidence of the moral bankruptcy of the occupying bureaucracy. Interrogation of the detained individuals is underway according to organizational laws.
March 7: In the Shahrak area of Kech, an occupying army post at Pognish was targeted, inflicting casualties on the enemy and destroying all advanced surveillance cameras installed there.
March 9 to March 14 (Operation Karkh): BLA sarmachars blockaded the CPEC route (M-8) in the Karkh area of Khuzdar and established strategic checkpoints. This control was maintained for six consecutive days. During snap checking, three personnel of Pakistan’s intelligence agency (ISI) attempted to flee; two were killed on the spot in the ensuing fire, while one was arrested. The neutralised and detained personnel belong to Punjab.
On the third day of the operation, infantry units of the occupying army attempting to advance were targeted with remote-controlled IED attacks. On the fourth day, the occupying army attempted to advance with a large force, which was neutralized by sarmachars through ambushes at various locations. In these intense skirmishes lasting two days, more than 17 occupying personnel were killed and several injured, while three enemy vehicles and two quadcopters were destroyed.
March 9: In Surab, at the location of “Tariki,” the advance of the occupying army was thwarted by a full-scale attack, forcing the enemy to retreat.
March 9: In the Tajaban area of Turbat, BLA sarmachars targeted an occupying army vehicle with a remote-controlled IED, resulting in one fatality and three injuries.
March 10: A hideout of the agents of the Pakistani intelligence agency, Military Intelligence (MI), was targeted with a hand grenade attack in Pasni city.
March 13: Near Quetta, in the Pingo area of Daghari, a joint convoy of the occupying army, CTD, and so-called death squads was ambushed while advancing for an operation. Two agents were killed on the spot, and one military vehicle was completely incinerated.
March 14: The occupying army attempted to advance again in the same area, which was repulsed by sarmachars through an IED attack, inflicting personnel and material losses.
March 14: In the Parom area of Panjgur, BLA units equipped with night vision and advanced weaponry attacked a convoy of the occupying army at night. Three enemy vehicles were hit, resulting in five deaths and several injuries, while one vehicle was disabled. Later, a sniper from the BLA targeted and killed an occupying command officer who arrived to inspect the site.
March 14: In the Garuk area of Kharan, a convoy of the occupying army was ambushed with rockets and heavy weaponry. Six enemy vehicles were directly hit, resulting in 14 personnel killed and over 10 injured. A day prior, BLA sarmachars had seized a truck carrying rations for an occupying army post; the truck was later set on fire, while the drivers were released on humanitarian grounds following organizational policy.
March 15: The occupying army’s base and jet fuel station at Turbat Airport were targeted with grenade launchers, causing significant damage to the installations.
March 15: In the Panwan area of Jiwani, Gwadar, an urban guerrilla unit of the BLA executed a highly organized and coordinated operation. Following a meticulous plan, sarmachars camouflaged themselves to gain access to a Coast Guard post and launched a sudden attack, killing the three personnel stationed there, Naik Saleem, Sepoy Adnan Rao, and Sepoy Azeem and seizing all their weapons and ammunition.
On March 16, BLA fighters conducted a remote-controlled IED attack targeting a vehicle within a convoy of the Pakistani armed forces in the Bakhtiar Loni area of Dukki. The convoy was advancing with aggressive intent. The explosion resulted in the deaths of ten soldiers and the complete destruction of the targeted vehicle.
“The objective of these organized attacks by the Baloch Liberation Army is to uproot the foundations of Pakistan’s illegitimate occupation of Balochistan.
“The enemy must recognize the writing on the wall: its fortresses, its fraudulent development projects, and its paid agents are no longer beyond the reach of Baloch sarmachars.
“The BLA is determined to go to any lengths in this war for national survival. Until the last trace of the occupier is erased from this Baloch land, our guns will not be silenced, nor will there be any reduction in our strategic strikes,” Jeeyand Baloch said.
He asserted that “this war is now heading towards its logical conclusion, and that conclusion is nothing but a Sovereign and Independent Balochistan.”
