‘Ready to Strike’: Baloch Rebels Launch Coordinated Attacks at 51 Sites Across Pakistan Amid Rising Tensions

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for one of its most extensive offensives to date, saying it launched 71 coordinated attacks across more than 51 locations in Pakistan’s Balochistan province. The group says it deliberately timed the strikes to coincide with the recent India-Pakistan military tensions, aiming to open a second front and stretch the Pakistani military’s resources.

According to BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch, the attacks targeted army convoys, intelligence outposts, and vehicles transporting mineral resources—assets the BLA claims are exploited by Islamabad while the Baloch people remain neglected. “These strikes weren’t just about inflicting damage. They were a test of our coordination, strength, and control on the ground,” the spokesperson said.

Alongside its military operation, the BLA issued a strongly worded political statement. Warning that “a new order is now inevitable” in South Asia, the group pushed back against accusations that it operates as a foreign proxy. “We are not working for any power. We are a decisive force in the region with our own vision for the future,” it said.

In its statement, the BLA directly appealed to the global community—especially India—for political, diplomatic, and defense support. “If the Baloch nation is supported, particularly by India, we are capable of dismantling this terrorist regime,” the group said, accusing Pakistan of decades of repression, deception, and state-sponsored extremism.

The group also issued a dire warning about the risks of allowing Pakistan’s military to retain control over its nuclear arsenal. “This is not just about Balochistan anymore,” the BLA said. “A fanatical military with nuclear weapons is a danger to the entire world.”

Meanwhile, Pakistan has continued to downplay the resistance in Balochistan. Army chief Asim Munir recently claimed that unrest in the region stems from just “1,500 miscreants,” brushing aside the decades-long separatist movement as a fringe issue. Islamabad has also continued to blame India for inciting unrest—an accusation New Delhi has repeatedly denied.

The BLA, however, insists the fight is homegrown, born from years of exploitation. Despite being rich in resources, Balochistan remains one of Pakistan’s most underdeveloped regions. “We are not asking for charity,” the BLA said. “We are asking the world to recognize our struggle and help us build a future free from oppression.”
