The Baloch Republican Guards (BRG) have claimed responsibility for an attack on April 29 that damaged machinery at a road construction site near Pat Feeder Peropol in Dera Murad Jamali, Pakistan. Unidentified attackers fired rockets at the site, destroying machinery and halting work, as confirmed by police officials. Investigations are ongoing, with no reported casualties, according to the Balochistan Post.
BRG spokesperson Dostain Baloch stated that the group’s fighters targeted a “military company” involved in government construction projects in the area, resulting in the complete destruction of the company’s machines. The attack took place on the road near Pit Feeder Piropal in the Dera Murad Jamali area of Naseerabad.
The spokesperson issued a warning to local contractors to steer clear of “state projects,” cautioning that they would bear the responsibility for their lives and financial losses. BRG accepts responsibility for the attack and vows to continue such operations “until the independence of Balochistan.”
The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) and Baloch Republican Guards (BRG) had previously claimed responsibility for attacks on Pakistani forces and installations in various areas of Balochistan. BRG also acknowledged damaging a major gas pipeline transporting fuel from Balochistan’s Sui gas field to Karachi in March. The group, opposing the exploitation of Balochistan’s natural resources, has threatened to persist in targeting such activities, as reported by The Balochistan Post.
These incidents occur amidst escalating attacks by Baloch groups on Pakistani military and police forces in Balochistan, resulting in significant casualties and infrastructure damage.
