Carried out 71 hits against Pakistan in last few days: BLA

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has declared that a "new order has become inevitable" in south Asia, warning of a regional shift. The BLA claims to have carried out 71 strikes at 51 locations targeting Pak army personnel and posts in the last few days, asserting its role as a "dynamic and decisive party" in the region's future, while rejecting claims of being a foreign proxy.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the BLA said that the attacks were carried out as part of its 'Operation Herof'. These operations, it said, targeted military convoys, checkpoints, intelligence centers, and infrastructure, aiming to challenge Pakistan's control and demonstrate the group's territorial reach.

Key strikes occurred in Kech, Panjgur, Mastung, Quetta, and Nushki - ranging from ambushes and IED blasts to targeted killings and the seizure of security posts, it added.

In a strongly worded statement, the BLA also warned of escalating conflict and instability in the region, accusing Pakistan of terrorism and human rights abuses in Balochistan.

The BLA also rejected claims that it was a proxy of any state or power, asserting its independence and resolve to continue its armed struggle for independence. "The BLA is neither a pawn nor a silent spectator; we are a dynamic and decisive party," the party's spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch said.

The BLA called on India and international community to recognise Pakistan as a terrorist state and take decisive action against it, warning that failure to do so would lead to further bloodshed and instability. "If Pakistan continues to be tolerated, its very existence may lead to the ruin of the entire world," the statement warned.
