In a significant turn of events, PNS Siddique, Pakistan’s second-largest naval air station situated in Turbat, is currently under heavy assault characterized by intense gunfire and multiple explosions. The base, renowned for its strategic significance and housing of Chinese drones, has become the latest target of the Majeed Brigade, an elite unit within the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
In response to the attack, the District Health Officer of Kech has declared an emergency at the Teaching Hospital in Turbat. All medical personnel, including doctors, have been instructed to immediately report for duty to handle the expected influx of casualties resulting from the assault.
The BLA’s Majeed Brigade, in correspondence with journalists via email, has claimed responsibility for the attack on the naval airbase in Turbat, asserting, “We have breached the Pakistani Naval Airbase in Turbat.”
This incident marks the group’s second operation within a week and its third major attack this year, signaling a notable escalation in their activities. Previous assaults include an operation in Mach city on January 29 and an attack on the ISI and MI headquarters in Gwadar on March 20.
As the situation unfolds, Turbat has witnessed a significant surge in military presence, with numerous helicopters observed patrolling the skies. Ground reports depict continuous heavy gunfire and explosions. The Frontier Corps has cordoned off several major roads in Turbat, and a sizable contingent of FC personnel has been witnessed heading towards the naval airbase.
In their latest communication to the media, the BLA asserts to have eliminated “over a dozen” Pakistani personnel, with their assault on PNS Siddique in Turbat persisting for the past three hours. Additionally, the BLA has disseminated an audio clip, purportedly from one of its fighters engaged in the assault on PNS Siddique. The recording features the fighter claiming multiple successful strikes on Pakistani vehicles, indicating a sustained and heightened level of attack.
