Balochistan Insurgency: City Seized, Attacks Rise Amidst Regional Instability
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for a coordinated offensive across Balochistan, including the seizure of Mangochar city and attacks at 39 locations. The operation involved highway blockades, police detentions (subsequently released), and targeting of military convoys. This significant escalation of the BLA’s campaign aims to disrupt Pakistani control and highlight the group’s ongoing fight against what it terms occupation and resource exploitation. A further statement detailing the operation and outlining future actions is expected from the BLA.
