Balochistan: In an unprecedented escalation, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for a major offensive comprising 71 coordinated attacks across more than 51 locations in what it refers to as "occupied Balochistan." The group has declared that a "new order has become inevitable" in South Asia, issuing a stark warning of impending regional transformation.
According to the BLA, the targets included Pakistani military convoys, intelligence centers, and mineral transport operations. The outfit described the attacks as a demonstration of tactical capability aimed at testing military coordination, ground control, and defensive readiness in anticipation of more organized future warfare.
Rejecting allegations of being a foreign proxy, the BLA asserted its independent agency, calling itself a “dynamic and decisive party” in the region's evolving strategic landscape. “The BLA is neither a pawn nor a silent spectator,” said BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch. “We have our rightful place in the current and future military, political and strategic formation of this region.”
The BLA further criticized Pakistan for what it described as duplicitous peace overtures, calling such gestures “a deception, a war tactic and a temporary ruse.” The group warned India and the international community against being misled by what it termed Pakistan’s “deceptive peace rhetoric.”
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) also came under sharp attack in the BLA’s statement, which accused the agency of sponsoring terrorism. “Pakistan has become a nuclear state of violent ideology,” the statement read, citing links to global terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and ISIS.
The group appealed for international support, particularly from India, seeking political, diplomatic, and defense assistance to end what it called “the terrorist state.” It argued that such support could lead to the establishment of a “peaceful, prosperous and independent Balochistan.”
The BLA warned that Pakistan's continued trajectory poses a threat to global security. “The control of nuclear weapons by a fanatical military establishment is a ticking time bomb, not only for the region but for the world,” it stated.
In response, Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir, downplayed the scale of the unrest, suggesting it was driven by no more than 1,500 individuals.
