The Baloch Raaji Aajoi Sangar (BRAS), a coalition of pro-independence armed factions in Balochistan, has asserted responsibility for 174 assaults on Pakistani security forces in 2025, resulting in the deaths of 167 military and intelligence personnel. Additionally, 95 security officials sustained injuries during these attacks throughout the province.
In its recent 2025 infographic report, the BRAS disclosed that its operatives also apprehended 26 individuals, including members of Pakistani intelligence agencies, in the course of the attacks. The report highlighted that the BRAS executed 35 explosions, 14 raid operations, and 35 cordon-and-search actions, targeting 15 infrastructure facilities, destroying 30 government and military vehicles, and confiscating 51 weapons.
The BRAS further claimed a significant operation in August 2025, where they seized control of Zehri town in Khuzdar for over a month, intensively targeting Pakistani forces during this period. The group reported seizing numerous vehicles, weapons, and military equipment, conducting patrols, and engaging with public gatherings throughout their occupation.
Armed groups associated with the BRAS alliance recently released their annual operational reports for 2025. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) reported carrying out 521 attacks last year, resulting in the deaths of over 1,060 Pakistani military personnel and injuries to more than 556 individuals. The group also mentioned the destruction of vehicles, quadcopters, surveillance towers, military infrastructure, and the seizure of 208 weapons.
The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) also asserted responsibility for 581 armed assaults against Pakistani security forces in Balochistan during 2025, causing 929 casualties, including 647 security personnel fatalities and 282 injuries. The BLF’s annual operational report for 2025 highlighted significant human and material losses inflicted on Pakistani security forces.
The Baloch Republican Guards (BRG) disclosed carrying out 88 attacks in various provinces across Pakistan, including Balochistan, Sindh, and Punjab. Their targets included railway tracks used by Pakistani forces, checkpoints, police posts, gas pipelines, and communication towers, resulting in 22 fatalities and 35 injuries among Pakistani personnel.
Balochistan has faced ongoing violence at the hands of Pakistani authorities, who are accused of supporting death squads in the region to perpetrate enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and unlawful detentions of Baloch individuals.
