Shaal (Balochistan) : Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) tonight said it has killed 15 personnel of occupying Pakistani military and injured dozens of others in days of fighting in Bolan.
Three brave fighters of BLA also embraced martyrdom using their own bullets while repulsing the Pakistani military offensive, its spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said in a statement to News Vibes of India (NVI).
“The occupying forces initiated a major attack against Baloch freedom fighters on 31 October 2022 in Kamaan, Uch Kamaan, Gumbadi, Darag, Peerani Pirah, Yakho, Thakri and adjoining areas of Bolan and Harnai,” he said.
“The enemy forces disconnected all land routes to the area, and used fighter jets, gunship helicopters, military drones and their elite commandos during the attack,” Baloch added.
Already prepared for resistance, the Baloch freedom fighters ambushed the enemy forces dozens of time, and finally repulsed the enemy attack and forced them to leave the area, the spokesman said.
The retreating enemy forces used local shepherds and women and children as human shield, he said.
“In several BLA attacks, 15 enemy personnel, including 8 SSG commandos, were eliminated and more than a dozen were injured,” the spokesman said.
