Balochistan — The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) said it carried out ten operations across Balochistan and claimed that 10 Pakistani security personnel and four people it described as state agents were killed in attacks in Kharan, Washuk, Awaran, Kech and Mastung, according to reports.
BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch told The Balochistan Post that fighters targeted Frontier Corps posts, military camps, a convoy, personnel guarding a road-construction company, and individuals the group labeled death squad or state agents. The statement said weapons were seized and surveillance cameras were destroyed during the operations.
Kharan: The BLF said on May 3 its fighters struck an FC checkpoint on Gazi Road in Kharan with rockets and grenade launchers, and that projectiles hit inside the post, inflicting casualties and damage. The group alleged Pakistani forces responded with indiscriminate fire toward nearby civilians and attempted to pursue fighters using quadcopters; BLF fighters withdrew to safe positions.
Washuk: The group said an intelligence-based operation on May 2 in the Naag-Grari area killed two men described as armed death squad agents, and that two Kalashnikov rifles and a motorcycle were seized. The BLF said this was the second such operation recently, referencing a March 17 incident in which it claimed three alleged operatives were killed and one person detained.
Awaran: The BLF claimed an April 29 assault on the main military camp in Tirteej began with a sniper shot that killed a soldier on duty, followed by fire from light machine guns and heavier weapons that caused further casualties and damage. The group also claimed responsibility for an attack on a military convoy and personnel guarding a road-construction company in Tirteej Koturi, saying a sniper killed one soldier and others were then targeted with heavy weapons, leaving another soldier dead and several wounded. The group additionally said it attacked a military checkpoint in the Geshkour-Zek area of Kolwah on April 28, claiming a sniper killed one soldier before the checkpoint was engaged with heavier weapons, causing more casualties and damage to defensive positions.
