Baloch Liberation Army Kills 25 Pakistani Soldiers in Two Attacks

The Baloch Liberation Army killed 25 Pakistani military personnel in two separate operations in the Balochistan region on September 4, 2026. In the Ziarat district, BLA fighters ambushed a military convoy, destroying two vehicles and killing 18 personnel. In a second attack in the Hajika area of Surab, the group's Special Tactical Operations Squad used a remotely detonated explosives-laden vehicle to kill seven personnel.

The BLA stated these operations are part of a broader campaign for the national liberation of Balochistan and an economic blockade intended to stop the exploitation of the region's natural resources. Following the attacks, the group warned local drivers, contractors, and merchants against providing rations or logistical assistance to the Pakistani military, threatening the loss of life or property for those who comply with the state forces.
