Baloch insurgents ramp up aerial strikes, BRG and BLA claim

Separatist militants in Pakistan’s southwestern province have intensified their aerial campaign, with the Baluch Republican Guards (BRG) and the Baluch Liberation Army (BLA) each publicising a string of recent strikes.

BRG’s Amir Aero Guardians unit said it first targeted a joint army‑police camp in the Bag area of Kachhi district on Sunday, using drones to inflict one fatality and a severe injury. Hours later the group announced a rocket‑laden ambush on a convoy traveling through Bolan, which it claims resulted in four additional security personnel being killed and several others wounded.

The BRG narrative emphasizes that its drone wing, launched on October 30, has already hit a Pakistani military outpost in Kachhi, underlining a rapid buildup of offensive capability.

Meanwhile, the BLA has taken responsibility for a series of high‑profile actions. It reported the execution of seven individuals it accused of aiding Pakistani security forces, including a person linked to the murder of academic Ghamkhwar Hayat. The BLA also highlighted its own aerial division, known as Kahar, which it says has carried out multiple drone raids across Surab, Kharan and Kalat districts. According to the group, these operations have killed more than seven Pakistani security officers and caused numerous injuries. A notable incident cited by the BLA involved nine drones striking a military camp near the Tarkhi Dam on October 26, targeting supply depots and checkpoints.

Together, the statements from BRG and BLA point to an escalating pattern of combined drone and ground attacks, reflecting a strategic shift toward more sophisticated, multi‑layered operations against Pakistani security installations in Baluchistan.
