A series of armed assaults occurred in major cities of Balochistan just prior to Pakistan’s “Independence” Day, with a Baloch armed group claiming responsibility for the incidents.
Reports indicate that unidentified individuals targeted a stall selling Pakistani flags using a hand grenade near a Pakistani forces’ checkpoint on Joint Road in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan. The attack resulted in the injury of five individuals, including two policemen.
Following the incident, Pakistani armed forces in the vicinity blocked the road, leading to an exchange of gunfire between security forces and the assailants. The attackers managed to escape unharmed.
The wounded victims of the explosion were promptly taken to Quetta’s civil hospital for medical treatment.
Similarly, unidentified individuals carried out an attack on a police station using a hand grenade in Balochistan’s Khuzdar district. The perpetrators fled the scene, and although the explosion was followed by a period of intense gunfire in the area, no casualties have been reported thus far.
Additionally, unknown armed individuals targeted a motorcycle patrol unit consisting of Pakistan’s Frontier Corps (FC) and Police, utilizing a remote-controlled explosive device in Khuzdar’s Chamrok area. The law enforcement swiftly cordoned off the blast site and initiated a search operation. Authorities have yet to issue a statement regarding the attack.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a pro-independence armed group, claimed responsibility for these attacks through a press release. The spokesperson of the BLA, Jeeyand Baloch, revealed that the group’s fighters orchestrated separate attacks in Khuzdar, Quetta, and Kolwah, targeting the Pakistani military and a stall related to Pakistan’s Independence Day.
Furthermore, the BLA’s spokesperson provided details about an attack in the Kolwah area of Kech district. In this incident, BLA fighters targeted a military outpost, resulting in at least two army personnel being wounded and a surveillance drone being downed.
The spokesperson of the BLA stated that these attacks led to the death of two enemy personnel and the injury of nine others across all four incidents. He also cautioned of more intensified assaults in the future and urged the Baloch populace to maintain a safe distance from stalls, events, and rallies associated with Pakistan’s National Day.
