Quetta, Aug 11 (NVI) Even as the Pakistani regime snapped all basic necessities to the people in occupied Balochistan, freedom fighters carried out attacks at the occupying military at several places across the region where this day (today) is commemorated as the ‘Independence Day’.

The Baloch people consider August 11, 1947 as the ‘Independence Day’ of Balochistan as it was on this date that the erstwhile princely state of Kalat, comprising area of Balochistan, adopted the Declaration of Independence following partition of British India.

The Baloch people have since been struggling and fighting for freedom from Pakistan, using violent and non-violent means.

In run up to today, the Pakistani regime imposed all kinds of restrictions and suspended even basic necessities like water, electricity and internet in Balochistan.

Undeterred by the clampdown, armed Baloch freedom fighters attacked Pakistani forces at several places, causing immense loss to men and material.

Setting the tone for today’s actions, Baloch freedom fighters last night carried out an IED attack on a vehicle of the Pakistani forces in New Town area of Gwadar, killing at least 6 personnel.

In Nasirabad, Baloch fighters attacked a camp of the Pakistani forces from two sides, according to local reports.

Loud sounds of explosions and gunfire were heard for a long time after that, the reports said, adding there were definitely several casualties among the Pakistani forces which were suppressed by the occupying regime.

To counter the fighters, the Pakistani forces dropped a mortar using a quadcopter and it landed on a mosque which was badly damaged.

The freedom fighters then shot down the quadcopter.

The freedom fighters also set up a road blockade on the highway in Nasirabad, checking vehicles for the Pakistani military and intelligence personnel.

Blockades were also set up by the freedom fighters on the Highway in Jhao where a check post of the Pakistani Levies was captured and set ablaze.

Even last night the the freedom fighters blocked the main highway between Awaran and Karachi in the Sirdh area for four hours, during which they conducted searches of the vehicles.

The freedom fighters also captured the check post of the Levies in Sirdh Majid Pir area, seized their weapons and other equipment and set ablaze the post.

The Zamran Dilak area also saw freedom fighters attacking with heavy weapons a military check post. Sounds of explosions and gunfire were heard for a long time, the locals reported. (NVI)

Balochistan: Pakistani regime snaps all basic facilities to locals, situation dire

Pakistani military in Balochistan (File Pic)

Quetta, Aug 6 (NV) In the most inhumane move, the Pakistani regime has imposed a comprehensive clampdown in occupied Balochistan, suspending internet, electricity, water and even healthcare facilities.

The gas supply and traffic movement in Balochistan have been also been severely disrupted.

“The situation in Balochistan is dire,” said a Baloch leader on condition of anonymity while sharing details about the repressive measures imposed by the Pakistani regime.

The Pakistani army has also been engaged in looting and robbing local residents of their homes in Balochistan.

According to the leader, the Pakistani regime has resorted to these oppressive measures as its occupying forces have been facing huge losses in terms of men and material due to the  increased actions by armed Baloch groups.

In the recent weeks, armed Baloch freedom-seeking groups, particularly Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and Baloch Raaji Ajoi Sangar (BRAS), have intensified their attacks on the Pakistani military, which has resulted in huge casualties.

During the last 3 weeks, at least 3 Major-rank officers of Pakistan Army have been killed, along with several other soldiers, by Baloch fighters in a targeted manner.

Such incidents have reportedly dampened the morale of the Pakistani forces who are believed to be hesitant to travel or be posted in Balochistan. (NVI)

Pahalgam terror attack: Indian investigators get Pakistani links; Prepare dossier

Site where terrorists struck in Pahalgam in Kashmir on April 22. Body of a victim can be seen in the picture.

New Delhi, Aug 4 (NVI) Documents and technical investigations have confirmed that two of the three slain terrorists who committed the April 22 massacre in Pahalgam were Pakistani nationals while one hailed from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).

The documents were recovered from the three terrorists killed in an encounter with security forces in Dachigam area on the outskirts of Srinagar on July 28 under ‘Operation Mahadev’ and technical investigations were carried out after that by the Indian intelligence agencies.

The slain terrorists were identified as Suleman Shah alias Faizal Jatt, Abu Hamza alias Afghan and Yasir alias Jibran alias Tahir, all operatives of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

In the April 22 carnage in Baisaran tourist spot in Pahalgam, Shah, a top category (A++) LeT terrorist, was the mastermind and lead shooter, according to the investigations.

Hamza and Yasir, both ‘A’ grade terrorists, were the other assailants. Yasir also handled rear security, the sources said.

It has been found that Suleman and Hamza were registered as voters in the Electoral List of Lahore (NA-125) and Gujranwala (NA-79), both in Punjab Province of Pakistan, intelligence sources told NVI.

According to the sources, two laminated voter slips issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan were found in the pockets of Suleman Shah and Abu Hamza.

Their Pakistani addresses were also confirmed from the biometric data in a micro CD card recovered from them, they said.

Yasir, who was known by various other names like ‘Chotu’, was a resident of Koiyan village near Rawalakot in PoJK.

Wrappers of ‘CandyLand’ and ‘ChocoMax’ chocolates were also recovered from their rucksacks, they said, while noting that both these products are produced in Karachi.

The lot numbers printed on these wrappers were traced to a May 2024 consignment shipped to Muzaffarabad, the capital of PoJK.

According to the investigations conducted, the three terrorists crossed over to Kashmir from PoJK through the Gurez sector of Line of Control (LoC) in May 2022.

Evidence in this respect is the Intelligence Bureau intercepts of the first radio check-in from the Pakistani side, they said.

Lying low for almost three years, they surfaced at a seasonal hut (dhok) at Hill Park, about 2 kms from Baisaran on April 21, 2025, a day before the attack.

This has been corroborated by the testimonies by two detained local Kashmiris — Parvaiz & Bashir Ahmad Jothar — who confessed to sheltering the three terrorists overnight and providing them with cooked food.

The next morning, April 22, the terrorists trekked to Baisaran meadow, which is a walk of about 30 minutes upwards in the mountains from the main town of Pahalgam.

This has been established from the GPS waypoints recovered from Suleman’s Garmin device, which also matches the exact firing positions reported by eyewitnesses, the sources said.

At around 2.30 PM on April 22, the terrorists carried out shootings and then escaped North-East towards Dachigam, they said.

The shell casings of the bullets recovered from the Dachigam encounter along with 2 AK-47 rifles and M9 carbine matched 100% with those found in Baisaran, the sources said.

DNA matching was also done and the Mitochondrial profiles extracted from blood on a torn shirt found at Pahalgam were found to be identical to that of the bodies recovered from Dachigam encounter site, they said.

Digital Footprint: A Huawei satellite phone (IMEI 86761204-xxxxxx) used by the trio had been pinging Inmarsat-4 F1 every night between April 22 and July 25. Triangulation narrowed the search grid to 4 sq kms inside Harwan forest, they said.

Command and Control inside Pakistan:

The operation was coordinated and controlled from Pakistan by Sajid Saifullah Jatt, LeT commander and resident of Changa Manga in Lahore.

This has been established by the voice samples found on the Satellite Phone recovered from the slain terrorists and matched with his earlier intercepts, the sources said.

Further establishing Pakistani connection was the visit paid by Rizwan Anees, LeT’s Rawalakot chief, to the families of the slain terrorists on April 29 to attend ‘Ghibana Namaz’ (funeral prayers without bodies) and was filmed by some locals, the sources said, adding that footage is now a part of the Indian dossier.

Quetta, Aug 3 (NVI) At least 22 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 14, including a Captain, were injured in a major attack by Baloch Raaji Ajoi Sangar (BRAS) on the main camp of the occupying Army in Panjgur district of Balochistan, said the spokesman of the freedom-seeking armed organisation.

The freedom fighters of BRAS took “control of an important part of the camp and inflicted heavy casualties and losses on the enemy military,” said the spokesman Baloch Khan in a statement about the attack at the camp inn Matin Goran area of Panjgur.

BRAS is a conglomerate of various armed Baloch groups like Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) and Baloch Republication Guards (BRG).

“In this decisive clash, 22 personnel of the occupying army were killed while more than 14, including Captain Osama were injured,” the spokesman said.

He said the freedom fighters seized the enemy’s war weapons, ammunition and other important equipment in the operation, during which one brave freedom fighter Amir alias Baba also lost his life.

“The operation was carried out at around 6:00 PM on August 1, when the BRAS commanders attacked the main camp of the 91st Wing of the occupying army in Goran and its adjacent outposts from three sides,” the spokesman said, giving details.

“In the clash that lasted for two hours, the commanders took complete control of a large part of the camp, including two important posts,” he said.

“As a result of the unexpected and coordinated attack on the enemy camp, the occupying army suffered heavy casualties, while its leadership and communication structure were severely affected,” Baloch Khan said.

The freedom fighters seized Kalashnikovs, G3s, machine guns, night vision devices, thermal scanners and other important equipment from the Pakistani military, he said.

The BRAS fighters also remained on the CPEC route at two locations to prevent the enemy from sending reinforcements, he said.

“However, the enemy army, as usual, showed cowardice and could not reach the aid of its besieged personnel. The freedom fighters also targeted and destroyed the spy cameras installed for monitoring the enemy, which further damaged its intelligence structure,” he said.

“During the operation, the moment they took control of a post, three officers were surrounded by the freedom fighters. Amir alias Baba, who was on the front line, persuaded these officers to surrender without any loss of life. But at the same time, he was the target of enemy fire from the rear,” he said.

“Despite being seriously injured, Amir covered a short distance, but due to excessive bleeding, he followed the philosophy of the last bullet in accordance with his ideological commitment and saved himself from being captured by the enemy and sent his comrades off,” the spokesman said.

Paying rich tributes to the fallen fighter, Baloch Khan said Amir “remained a practical example of continuous struggle with discipline, courage and discipline even in the most difficult conditions.”

“BRAS reiterates its resolve that the sacrifices of Shaheed Sarmchar Amir alias Baba and other martyrs are the foundation of our struggle and the foundation of our progress. Such attacks on the enemy forces will not only continue but will also intensify and expand,” he said.

“Baloch Raji Ajoi Sangar (BRAS) along with all its fihters, allied organizations and revolutionary workers is determined to continue this struggle until the complete defeat of the enemy and the independence of Balochistan,” the spokesman declared. (NVI)

POJK: LeT commander faces wrath of mourners at last rites of terrorist killed in Srinagar

TRF terrorist Tahir who was killed in encounter with security forces in Dachigam in Srinagar on July 28

Muzaffarabad (Pakistan-occupied J&K), Aug 1 (NVI) People of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK) are clearly fed up of Pakistan’s evil projects of brainwashing and misguiding youth to become purposeless ‘jihadis’ and end up as corpses.

This aspect came to the fore recently in Kuiyaan village of POJK during the last rites in absentia (Namaz-e-Janaza) of Habib Tahir, one of the three terrorists killed by Indian forces in an encounter in Dachigam (Harwan) area of Srinagar on July 28.

Tahir, alias Chotu, was a member of so-called ‘The Resistance Front’ (TRF) which is a mask for the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) outfit. The three were responsible for the massacre of 26 innocent people in Pahalgam in Kashmir on April 22, according to Indian officials.

His family had planned his last rites in absentia in his native village on July 30.

Drama erupted when LeT commander Rizwan Hanif, along with his armed associates (bodyguards), reached the venue of the last rites.

Tahir had been brainwashed and trained in usage of arms by the LeT, which sent him for ‘jihad’ activities to Kashmir.

His family had been nursing anger against LeT over this and had made it clear that no one from the terror outfit should attend the last rites of Tahir.

But Rizwan Hanif and armed bodyguards still showed up and it led to a confrontation and physical fights.

One of Rizwan’s bodyguards, who is also his nephew, then threatened mourners that he would open fire but the public was unrelenting and forced them to run away.

Subsequently, residents of the area decided to hold a public Jirga to collectively oppose terror recruitment and activities.

This development demonstrates that people of PoJK are no more willing to consign their young kin to the machinations of Pakistani military. (NVI)
