In another bold assault, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has once again demonstrated its unwavering resolve to resist Pakistan’s oppressive regime. On the night of December 8, 2024, BLA fighters targeted a Pak military post in Kohlu, POB, as part of their ongoing fight for freedom and justice. The attack, which took place in the Loond area of Naway Shum, saw the use of heavy weaponry, including rockets, aimed at the Pak forces. The outcome was swift: two soldiers were killed, and at least four others were wounded. The BLA has taken full responsibility for the attack, sending a clear message to Pakistan’s brutal military establishment that the struggle for Baloch autonomy will not cease.
The Pakistan Army, which has consistently subjected the Baloch people to atrocities and oppression, has once again proven its inhumanity. Despite the BLA’s justified resistance, the Pak military continues its attempts to silence the voices of Baloch freedom fighters by subjecting innocent civilians to extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, and brutal military operations. It is clear that the Pak Army’s goal is not just to suppress dissent but to erase the identity of the Baloch people and their right to self-determination.
The attack in Kohlu comes just days after a similar assault in the Dukki region, which also resulted in casualties among the Pak military ranks. The BLA’s Majeed Brigade and Fatah Squad have been at the forefront of these attacks, launching highly strategic operations that have left Pakistan’s forces scrambling for answers. Last month, these elite units carried out coordinated strikes in Quetta and Kalat, resulting in the deaths of over 60 soldiers.
While the occupied-govt and military continue to distort the truth and paint the BLA as a mere insurgent group, the reality is that the Baloch Liberation Army is fighting for a just cause—freedom from a ruthless occupation that has violated every aspect of human rights in POB. Pakistan’s military presence in POB, especially through its ‘kill and dump’ tactics, has only fueled the resolve of Baloch fighters who remain committed to liberating their land from colonial control.
This attack in Kohlu is a reminder that the struggle of the Baloch people is far from over. It also serves as a stark reminder that Pakistan’s army, which continues to shelter radical elements within its ranks and in neighboring regions, will never be able to crush the spirit of Baloch resistance. The BLA’s actions continue to expose the Pak Army’s failure to protect its own forces while also highlighting the Baloch people’s ongoing fight for justice, autonomy, and freedom from military tyranny.
