The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has released a video series through its official media channel, Hakkal, showing footage of coordinated attacks it claims were carried out in March across multiple areas of Balochistan. The 14-minute video includes scenes purportedly showing the destruction of a radar system, rocket fire directed at the Shamsi airbase, and attacks on military convoys in Jhal Magsi, Surab and Kardegap. It also shows alleged assaults on military camps in Dasht, Kadan and Mastung.
The footage further appears to show attacks on sites described as belonging to government-backed groups, often referred to locally as “death squads”, in Panjgur, as well as scenes claiming control of a mineral extraction site in Dalbandin. Additional clips depict weapons and equipment said to have been seized from Pakistani forces, along with damaged military vehicles.
The BLA claimed last Friday (April 3) that it had carried out 65 coordinated attacks across multiple districts of Balochistan between March 29 and April 1, over four days, claiming that more than 86 personnel of Pakistani armed forces, “death squads” and intelligence agencies were killed and dozens more injured, according to a report published in The Balochistan Post.
In a media statement, BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch said the operations were conducted in areas including Panjgur, Shapuk, Basima, Sibi, Mastung, Quetta, Nushki, Zamuran, Dasht, Surab, Jhal Magsi, Dalbandin, Kharan, Washuk and Kalat. He said the attacks targeted military camps, an airbase, radar systems, communication towers, railway tracks, bridges and gas pipelines, adding that “major highways were brought under control for several hours” during the operations.
He added that six BLA fighters were killed during the clashes and gave the names of all those people.
Details of Operations
According to the statement, the first wave of attacks on March 29 targeted positions of what the group described as “death squads” and Pakistani forces in Panjgur, where clashes took place at multiple locations. The group said it seized and destroyed several hideouts in the Garmakan area, killing two members of one group and setting fire to vehicles before demolishing the structures with improvised explosive devices.
It said a second hideout was also targeted, with surveillance equipment and vehicles destroyed, adding that Pakistani forces attempting to advance were intercepted, resulting in four personnel killed and several injured. The statement said a prolonged clash between Garmakan and Washbod resulted in at least six personnel killed, while BLA fighters Zahid, Saeedullah and Jahanzeb were killed during these clashes.
It added that in Khudabadan, fighters seized another “death squad” hideout, killing four operatives and confiscating weapons before destroying the facility, while BLA fighter Aamir was killed during the operation.

BLA Fighters Killed
According to the statement, six BLA fighters were killed during the operations, identified as Sangat Zahid, Sangat Saeedullah, Sangat Jahanzeb, Sangat Aamir, Sangat Saddam and Sangat Abdust Aziz. The group said Zahid, alias Nawaz, a resident of Gichk in Panjgur, had joined the armed struggle in 2016 and joined the BLA in 2023, describing him as “a fearless warrior and an experienced Sarmachar.”
It said Saeedullah, alias Meraj, originally from Raghay in Washuk, joined in April 2025 and “proved his bravery as a frontline soldier,” while Jahanzeb, alias Qambar, a resident of Nokabad in Tasp, joined in January 2025 and was described as having shown strong “ideological commitment.” The statement said Aamir, alias Khalid, from Khudabadan in Panjgur, served as an urban guerrilla from 2022 before moving to the mountain front in 2024, adding that he “performed valuable services” across multiple fronts.
It described Saddam, alias Shavez, from Kalag in Kech, as “a hardworking Sarmachar” who had joined the BLA in 2025 and took part in several operations. Abdust Aziz, alias Almaan, a resident of Kohaad in Tump, joined the armed struggle in 2018 and became part of the BLA in 2019. The group described him as a member of the “elite ‘Fateh Squad’.”
It added that he was “a living example of continuous struggle” and did not waver despite what it described as “collective punishment” against his family. The BLA warned individuals associated with what it described as “death squads” to “abandon their anti-Baloch activities and surrender,” adding that it would otherwise “use its full force to bring them to their end.”
It also accused Pakistani forces of using civilians as human shields during operations in Jhal Magsi and advised the public to “maintain a safe distance’’ from occupying forces. “Our strategic war and coordinated strikes will continue with full strength and intensity until the restoration of a free and sovereign Balochistan,” the statement said.
Pakistani authorities have not responded to the BLA’s statement late on Friday or to the video it released on Sunday.
