Reports have emerged of a deadly attack on a Pakistani Army convoy in Balochistan, with claims that over 23 personnel have been killed. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for the incident, stating that its “Fateh Squad” targeted the convoy this morning in the Walpat area of Lasbela district, resulting in dozens of army personnel being killed or wounded.
Local sources report that the attack occurred on the national highway in Lasbela district while the convoy was in transit; the assault was highly lethal, inflicting heavy casualties and material losses on the security forces.
According to initial reports, armed individuals launched a sudden and intense attack on the passing army convoy. Two military vehicles within the convoy were completely destroyed, while two others were struck by heavy gunfire and explosions.
Sources indicate that more than 23 military personnel are feared dead, with numerous others critically injured. Immediately following the attack, security forces cordoned off the area, and relief operations are underway to transport the bodies and the wounded.
Despite the passage of considerable time since the incident, neither Pakistani authorities nor the military’s media wing (ISPR) have issued an official statement or position regarding this major attack. Meanwhile, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA)—an active armed organization within the Balochistan independence movement—has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on a Pakistani army convoy in the Lasbela region of Balochistan today, Saturday.
In a statement issued to the media, BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch stated that the organization’s “Fateh Squad” targeted a convoy of the occupying Pakistani army in the Walpat area of Lasbela this morning; the attack resulted in dozens of casualties among the occupying forces, with personnel both killed and wounded.
The spokesperson affirmed that the BLA accepts responsibility for the attack, adding that further details would be released to the media shortly.
It is worth noting that while there were reports indicating the deaths of 23 personnel in the attack, this figure could not be independently verified.
