- The Balochistan Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for killing 25 Pakistani soldiers in two attacks in Balochistan — an ambush on an army convoy at Ziarat Cross it says killed 18, and a remote-controlled vehicle bombing at Hajika in Surab it says killed seven.
- The group released videos of the attacks through its media outlet Hakkal and has escalated its campaign against the Pakistani military in recent months, having also claimed 36 operations last month.
- Pakistan has not confirmed the casualties or issued detailed information, and the army says it killed around 50 militants in retaliatory raids across several districts.
- The violence underscores the intensifying insurgency in Pakistan's largest province, which has faced unrest for decades.
What to watch next
- Whether Pakistan's military confirms or disputes the BLA's casualty claims
- Any further escalation or retaliation in Balochistan, including crackdowns on militant hideouts
- Continued BLA operations by units like the Fateh Squad, which carried out the March 2025 Jaffar Express hijacking
