“बीएलए का दावा: बलूचिस्तान में सैन्य काफिले पर आत्मघाती हमले में 90 पाकिस्तानी सैनिक मारे गए”
In a devastating attack, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) targeted a Pakistani military convoy, claiming the lives of numerous soldiers. According to the BLA, the assault took place on Sunday along the RCD Highway in Noshki, Balochistan, as the convoy of eight buses traveled from Quetta to Taftan. The group alleges that up to 90 Pakistani soldiers were killed in what they describe as a coordinated suicide operation executed by their Majeed Brigade, followed by an assault from their Fateh squad.
The BLA claims the attack began with a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) that obliterated one of the buses. Subsequently, the Fateh squad surrounded another bus, eliminating all soldiers on board. Jiand Baloch, a spokesperson for the BLA, issued a statement taking responsibility for the operation and promised further details would be shared with the media soon. Reports indicate that following the attack, three Pakistani military helicopters were dispatched to Noshki, hospitals declared emergencies, and ambulances rushed toward the Frontier Corps (FC) headquarters.
This marks the second major BLA operation in Balochistan within a week. Just days earlier, on Tuesday, the group hijacked the Jaffar Express train in the Bolan region, sparking a 30-hour standoff with security forces. Pakistani military officials claimed they rescued 300 passengers, killed 33 militants, and lost four security personnel, with 21 hostages reportedly killed. In contrast, the BLA asserted they had executed 214 hostages during the incident.
The Pakistani military has yet to release an official statement confirming the details of the convoy attack in Noshki. The escalating violence underscores the intensifying conflict between Baloch insurgents and Pakistani forces in the restive province.
