Baloch Rebels Claim Deadly Suicide Attack on Pakistan Coast Guard
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claims responsibility for a suicide commando attack on a Pakistan Coast Guard camp in Jiwani, Gwadar, stating over 30 security personnel were killed. Conflict escalates in Balochistan.
A suicide commando attack, claimed by the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), has reportedly targeted a Pakistan Coast Guard camp in Jiwani, a town in the Gwadar district of Balochistan. The militant group asserts that over 30 security personnel were killed in the assault, and the camp was reduced to rubble.
The BLA, a prominent separatist group active in Balochistan, stated that the attack involved an explosive-laden truck, followed by a ground assault. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict in the restive province.
Balochistan has long been a flashpoint for various insurgent groups fighting for greater autonomy or complete independence from Pakistan. The BLA has vowed to continue its fight for Balochistan's independence, intensifying concerns about regional stability. Authorities have yet to independently verify the BLA's claims regarding casualties and the extent of the damage.
