Islamabad, February 8: Amid escalating protests against Pakistani security forces in Balochistan, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has announced the conclusion of its week-long campaign, dubbed ‘Operation Heroof-2.’ The organization claims that its objectives have been achieved during this operation.
In an official statement, the BLA reported that Baloch fighters launched simultaneous attacks across multiple cities and towns under the banner of ‘Operation Heroof-2.’ The group asserts that these assaults inflicted significant losses on the Pakistani military.
According to a report from The Balochistan Post (TBP), this coordinated urban campaign spanned over 14 cities in Balochistan and has been described as the largest, most intense, and organized military operation in the BLA’s history.
Citing BLA spokesperson Ziyand Baloch, the report indicated that Baloch fighters executed attacks at various locations, establishing temporary control over security checkpoints, military bases, and certain urban areas. The organization claims that in some cities, BLA units held their ground for six consecutive days, forcing Pakistani security forces to retreat.
The TBP report, referencing BLA officials, claims that over 362 Pakistani security personnel were killed during the operation. According to the BLA, these casualties included members of the Pakistani army, Frontier Corps, police, and allegedly state-backed armed groups.
The spokesperson also stated that BLA fighters had detained 17 Pakistani security personnel, who were later released. He mentioned that actions would be taken against the remaining detainees concerning alleged war crimes and genocide.
Reiterating the objectives of ‘Heroof-2,’ the spokesperson did not rule out the possibility of future armed operations. He stated, “The first objective was to demonstrate that Baloch fighters have the capability to attack urban centers and establish control there. The second was to convey to the Baloch people that resistance is based on collective trust and organizational strength. The third objective was to challenge the alleged unquestioned dominance of Pakistani forces in Balochistan.”
