The Baloch Liberation Military (BLA) has launched the primary visuals of its lethal assault on a Pakistani navy convoy in Noshki, Balochistan. The footage, revealed by the group’s media wing, Hakkal, purportedly reveals the aftermath of the assault, which the BLA claims resulted within the deaths of 90 Pakistani military personnel.
Nevertheless, the Pakistani police mentioned the assault killed 5 officers and wounded 10 others.
Based on the BLA, its Majeed Brigade and Particular Unit Fateh Squad carried out the ambush, concentrating on a convoy of eight buses on the RCD Freeway close to Rakshan Mill utilizing a vehicle-borne improvised explosive machine (VBIED). One bus was reportedly destroyed within the explosion, and the BLA claims to have systematically eradicated all navy personnel on board.
Nevertheless, Pakistani authorities have downplayed the casualties. Noshki police official Mohammed Zafar instructed AFP {that a} car laden with explosives struck one of many seven buses within the convoy heading towards Taftan, and that solely 5 paramilitary troops had been killed.
The discharge of visuals comes amid heightened tensions in Balochistan, days after the BLA hijacked the Jaffar Specific, taking on 450 passengers hostage earlier than Pakistani forces claimed to have neutralized the attackers.
