- Casualties: 10 Pakistani soldiers killed
- Claimed By: Baloch Liberation Army (BLA)

In a statement issued by BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch, the group confirmed that the attack was carried out using a remote-controlled IED, which completely destroyed the military vehicle. All the personnel on board were killed, making it a significant blow to the Pakistani military in the region.
The Victims of the BLA Attack
The soldiers killed in the attack have been identified as:
- Subedar Shehzad Ameen
- Naib Subedar Abbas
- Sepoy Khalil
- Sepoy Zahid
- Sepoy Khurram
This targeted assault occurred while the convoy was on a routine patrol, further highlighting the precision and coordination of the attack.
Disturbing Visual Evidence from the Attack
Following the explosion, the BLA released a video showing thick black smoke rising from the wreckage of a military vehicle, reportedly belonging to the bomb disposal unit. This visual evidence has further amplified the conversation around the Balochistan insurgency and the escalating conflict between the BLA and Pakistani forces.
Background on the BLA’s Growing Resistance
The BLA’s recent actions, including the attack on the Pakistani Army convoy, are part of its ongoing armed struggle for Baloch independence. The group has long been involved in operations aimed at weakening the Pakistani military presence in Balochistan. This latest BLA attack on Pakistani Army personnel adds to a growing list of violent encounters between the insurgents and the Pakistani military.
Earlier this year, in March 2025, the BLA carried out a dramatic hijacking of the Jaffar Express, taking 440 passengers hostage and killing at least 21 civilians. Such incidents demonstrate the BLA’s capability and determination in its campaign for Baloch self-determination.
Geopolitical Implications
The BLA’s attack on the Pakistani Army is part of a larger geopolitical struggle that has international ramifications. Recently, Iran offered to mediate between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack, which also involved violent military actions. The conflict in Balochistan continues to be a point of tension not only within Pakistan but across the region.
Conclusion: What Lies Ahead for Balochistan?
The BLA’s latest attack on a Pakistani Army convoy serves as a stark reminder of the growing insurgent activity in Balochistan. With the BLA’s vows to intensify its attacks, the situation is expected to remain volatile. As Pakistan responds with increased military operations, the region’s security landscape will likely evolve with greater unpredictability.
