Baloch Liberation Army declares regional shift, claims major offensive in Balochistan

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has issued a stark warning of a changing regional landscape, asserting that “a new order has become inevitable” in South Asia. In a defiant statement, the separatist group denied acting as a foreign proxy, emphasizing its independent role in the region’s evolving political and military dynamics.

Rejecting accusations of external manipulation, the BLA described itself as “a dynamic and decisive party” shaping the future of Balochistan and the broader region. The group accused Pakistan of using peace overtures as a cover for sustained military aggression, particularly in resource-rich Balochistan.

In a separate announcement, the BLA claimed responsibility for a massive offensive involving 71 coordinated attacks across 51 locations in what it refers to as "occupied Balochistan." According to the BLA spokesperson, the operations targeted military convoys, intelligence facilities, and mineral transport vehicles. The offensive reportedly coincided with heightened India-Pakistan tensions, with the BLA asserting it had deliberately opened “another front” for Pakistan’s military.

“The goal was not just destruction but to evaluate coordination, ground control, and defensive strength in preparation for future warfare,” said the spokesperson.

The BLA's rhetoric signals an escalation in its insurgency campaign and poses new strategic challenges amid already fragile regional security. There has been no immediate response from Pakistani authorities regarding the latest claims.
