The Baloch Republican Guards (BRG) have claimed responsibility for sabotaging a major gas pipeline that carries fuel from Balochistan’s Sui gas field to Karachi. The group’s spokesperson, Dostain Baloch, stated that the attack on the 36-inch diameter gas pipeline near the Kashmore region in Sindh province caused severe damage, disrupting the flow of natural gas from Sui to Karachi. The BRG emphasized its opposition to the exploitation of Balochistan’s natural resources and warned of continued targeting of such activities.
In a separate incident, the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) launched a series of attacks on Pakistani forces in the Tump area of Balochistan, resulting in the death of 15 military personnel. The BLF spokesperson, Major Gwahram Baloch, disclosed that the group’s fighters carried out a coordinated assault on a Pakistani military checkpoint using various weapons including mortars, sniper rifles, and grenade launchers. The BLF claimed that the attacks caused casualties among Pakistani soldiers and inflicted significant damage on the military post.
The BLF’s operation extended to multiple military checkpoints in the Apsi Kahn and Shapchar areas, resulting in additional casualties among Pakistani forces. The group reported the downing of a quadcopter drone deployed by Pakistani forces and the detonation of an improvised explosive device that targeted a military vehicle, leading to further casualties. Additionally, the BLF set two gas tanker vehicles on fire near Turbat, allegedly disrupting gas supplies for industries in Punjab province, Pakistan.
These incidents reflect a surge in attacks by Baloch militant groups against Pakistani military and police forces in Balochistan, causing substantial casualties and infrastructure damage in recent days.
