The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed that more than 27 Pakistani military personnel were killed and several others injured across 15 separate operations in the province of Balochistan between 20 and 26 October 2026, according to local media reports published on Tuesday. The claims were made by BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch and have not been independently verified by Pakistani military or government sources.

Key Operations and Claimed Casualties

According to the spokesperson, the BLA's intelligence wing Zirab had been tracking the movement of Pakistan Coast Guard Lieutenant Colonel Bilal Jalib. Fighters reportedly targeted his vehicle with a remote-controlled IED on October 24, seriously injuring two personnel and causing major damage to the military vehicle.

On the same date, the BLA claimed to have carried out counter-attacks in the Gidar area as Pakistani forces advanced into the region. According to the statement, clashes lasting over four hours resulted in five Pakistani personnel killed and more than 11 others injured. A separate IED strike followed by an armed assault in Cher Kuncheti in Kech reportedly claimed four more lives and injured several others.

In Mastung's Gurgina, near a grid station, an ambush on October 26 allegedly killed four personnel and injured at least six. On October 25, fighters targeting soldiers advancing into Dasht Baba reportedly killed two personnel, with the BLA claiming that withdrawing troops left behind the bodies of the deceased.

Attacks on Supply Convoys and Infrastructure

The BLA also claimed attacks on military logistics in the region. A convoy carrying supplies to a military camp in Mastung was reportedly struck in the Sargoz area on October 20, with an armoured vehicle and another vehicle targeted, causing what the group described as casualties and material losses.

In Kalat, the group claimed responsibility for multiple incidents: an ambush on October 22 that reportedly killed two personnel and injured several others, a further attack on October 24, and another convoy strike on October 26 that claimed one soldier's life. Additionally, two personnel travelling on foot were reportedly killed in an IED blast in Kalat on October 24.

In Khuzdar, the BLA claimed that three personnel were killed and four others injured on October 25. Fighters also reportedly blew up the main gate of a joint Levies and Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) station in Khuzdar's Karkh area, triggering clashes with Pakistani personnel.

Nushki Operations and Sniper Attack

In Nushki, the BLA alleged that fighters struck the Hazhdah Khol military camp on October 24, killing three personnel and injuring several others. The spokesperson further claimed that a reinforcement column advancing through Reko was ambushed and forced to retreat. A BLA sniper, according to the statement, also killed a soldier stationed at a military post in the district.

Bridge on Quetta-Karachi Trade Route Targeted

Notably, the BLA claimed to have severely damaged a bridge on the Quetta–Karachi trade route, saying fighters used heavy machinery and set it on fire. Such attacks on trade infrastructure mark an escalation in tactics, potentially disrupting commercial movement between two of Pakistan's most strategically significant cities. This comes amid a sustained pattern of BLA-attributed attacks in Balochistan over recent years, with the group having claimed a series of high-profile operations targeting military convoys, energy infrastructure, and communication links.

Pakistani authorities had not issued an official response to the claims at the time of reporting. The conflict in Balochistan, which involves long-running grievances over resource extraction, political representation, and enforced disappearances, continues to draw international attention as violence reportedly intensifies.
