Quetta, Nov 6 (NVI) Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) today said it killed 8 Pakistani soldiers and injured 5 in multiple operations against the occupying forces in Balochistan.
The outfit said it also blocked the coastal highway.
Giving details, BLF spokesman said the outfit’s fighters this morning, at around 8:00 am (Pakistan Time), ambushed a unit of the occupying Pakistan army at Pirandar (Kenera), an area adjacent to Awaran city.
The ambush was carried out when those army personnel were conducting foot patrols to secure their incoming convoy.
In the attack, the fighters struck at close range, eliminating 3 soldiers and wounding 3 others, he said, adding the freedom fighters also seized the weapons of the Pakistani soldiers.
Earlier in the morning, BLF fighters planted and detonated an IED using a remote at Dastchin, between Mand, Koh Dagar and Goberd, eliminating two soldiers on the spot.
After the attack, the occupying Pakistani army’s air unit arrived at the site and transported the bodies to Mand Soru camp.
Prior to this, BLF fighters, acting on information from the organization’s intelligence wing, carried out a heavy attack on the Pakistani army personnel in Kuddan in Kech district last evening when the soldiers were unloading rations and other supplies from their vehicle outside their camp.
The operation was carried out by two teams of BLF. The first team attacked the personnel at extremely close range, eliminating 3 personnel on the spot and severely wounding two, the spokesman said.
The second team shelled and fired on the military camp with RPGs and other heavy weapons and also struck and damaged surveillance cameras installed in the camp, he added.
“After the successful operation, BLF fighters withdrew safely to their secure locations. However, as is customary, the occupying Pakistani army then fired heavily with heavy weapons at nearby civilian populations,” the spokesman said.
In another operation last evening, BLF fighters attacked a Pakistani military post established in Jirik, Kolwah, with heavy weapons.
Several RPG rounds were fired that landed inside the camp, causing both personnel and material losses to the enemy force, the spokesman said.
BLF fighters also conducted a blockade and snap checks on the coastal highway at Shtangi, on the Gwadar Pasni route last evening.
Closing the road for around 3 hours, BLF fighters carried out searches of vehicles to nab those associated with the Pakistani military.
While the blockade was underway, Assistant Commissioner of Pasni arrived with his official staff and was captured by the fighters, the spokesman said.
After interrogation, and in line with organizational policy and command directives, the BLF released the Assistant Commissioner and his staff on account of their Baloch identity and humanity, but confiscated his official weapons, he said.
At the same time, the fighters set his Buzzer vehicle on fire.
In another operation today, BLF fighters attacked a Pakistani army check post in Guhna near Turbat at about 2:00 pm.
