Days after train hijack BLA bombs Pak army convoy, claims to kill 90 soldiers

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has launched a deadly suicide attack on a Pakistani military convoy, killing 90 soldiers, in what is being described as one of the most devastating attacks in recent times. The incident occurred near Rakhshan Mill on the RCD Highway in Nushki, Balochistan, when a suicide bomber from the Majid Brigade, the BLA's elite unit, rammed into a military convoy consisting of eight buses.

According to reports, one bus was completely destroyed in the initial explosion, while another was surrounded and attacked by the Fateh Squad, a combat unit of the BLA. The militant group has claimed responsibility for the assault and has stated that more details will be released soon.

The impact of the attack was severe, with emergency services struggling to handle the number of casualties. Hospitals in Nushki were put on high alert, and emergency measures were implemented as medical teams rushed to provide aid to the wounded. The Pakistani military has not officially confirmed the exact death toll, but multiple sources, including The Balochistan Post, report dozens of casualties and significant damage to the convoy.

Following the attack, security forces intensified their presence in the region, deploying additional personnel and increasing aerial surveillance using helicopters. The Pakistani military has launched an investigation into the attack, while intelligence agencies are trying to assess the extent of the damage and track down any remaining BLA operatives involved in the planning.

The Baloch Liberation Army has been engaged in a long-standing insurgency against the Pakistani state, demanding greater autonomy for Balochistan. The province, which is rich in natural resources, has seen frequent clashes between Baloch separatist groups and Pakistani security forces. The latest attack is being seen as a major escalation, highlighting the BLA’s increasing operational capabilities.

With tensions in Balochistan already at a boiling point, this attack is expected to trigger retaliatory measures from the Pakistani military. Experts warn that such incidents will further destabilize the region, making it a flashpoint for conflict between separatist groups and government forces in the coming months.
