Killed more than 100 soldiers at military camps in Pakistan, claims Baloch Liberation Army

Mangalore Today News Network

Karachi, Feb 03, 2022: The Balochistan Liberation Army, a militant organisation, has claimed to have killed more than 100 soldiers at two military camps in Pakistan on Thursday.

In a press release dated February 3, 2022, the militant organisation said that major parts of Panjgur and Nushki military camps in Pakistan were still under its control. "Large parts of camps have been completely destroyed. Backup troops have arrived for the enemy forces. However, they have failed to weaken fidayee positions inside the camp," the press release said.

 

Baloch Liberation Army also claimed that Pakistan had banned its media from reporting the events and that telecommunication networks had been disconnected. The militant group stated that the claim made by the Pakistan Armed Forces’ Inter-Services Public Relations that the attacks were repulsed was false.

"Today’s operations are still underway with full intensity," the group said.

WHAT DID PAKISTAN’S MILITARY SAY?

Earlier in the day, the Pakistan military’s media wing had said that armed assailants attacked two security forces’ camps in Balochistan province, triggering an intense exchange of fire in which at least four terrorists and a soldier were killed.

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations said, "Both attacks were successfully repulsed, inflicting heavy casualties on terrorists”.

The BLA’s statement is in complete contrast to the military’s version.

BLA STEPS UP ATTACKS

The separatist outfit, Baloch Liberation Army, has recently stepped up attacks on security forces and installations.

The attacks on Wednesday were the latest in a string of such assaults in Balochistan and come a week after ten soldiers were killed in a terrorist attack at a checkpost in Kech district.
