BALOCHISTAN [Pakistan], December 30 (ANI): The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) on Monday claimed that its operatives killed 10 members of the Pakistani military in multiple attacks across Balochistan, including in Jhao, Barkhan, Tump, and Turbat, according to a report by The Balochistan Post.
In a statement to the media, BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch said the group’s fighters ambushed a Pakistani military convoy in the Jhao region of Awaran district at around 1 p.m. on December 28.
He said the ambush targeted an army foot patrol, a bomb disposal unit, and a pickup vehicle that had converged at the same location. According to the statement, eight personnel were killed on the spot, while three others were critically injured.
The BLF claimed that an armored vehicle assigned to protect the convoy retreated during the attack, leaving behind the bodies of those killed as well as the wounded personnel.
The group further alleged that a second attack took place later the same night, targeting a military camp in the Srati-Tik area near Rakhni in Barkhan district. Fighters reportedly used heavy weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades, resulting in the deaths of two personnel and injuries to another when RPG rounds struck inside the camp.
According to the statement, a third strike was carried out earlier on December 28 in the Gomazi locality of Tump, where BLF fighters fired several A1 shells at a security forces checkpoint, inflicting what the group described as casualties and material losses on Pakistani soldiers stationed there.
The BLF also claimed that its fighters targeted Pakistani Navy personnel in a hand grenade attack at the main entrance of a Navy camp in central Turbat at around 8:20 p.m. on December 27. The statement alleged that personnel stationed at the gate sustained casualties, prompting Pakistani forces to intensify patrols in the area following the explosion.
Reiterating its position, the BLF said it would continue armed attacks until what it described as the achievement of an independent Balochistan, The Balochistan Post reported.
