QUETTA, BALOCHSITAN: The Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) has released footage through its media wing, Aashob, showcasing its newly established Karima Armed Assault Division (KAAD).
The video shows more than 20 women undergoing training in the hilly terrain of Balochistan, with footage depicting them handling heavy machine guns.
The video’s immediate significance appears to be more organizational and symbolic than evidence of an established combat capability.
The development could expand the group’s recruitment messaging. The unit’s formation follows the Jusak attack in Kech, which marked the first known combat operation involving BLF’s female fighters. In that attack, three vehicles belonging to Pakistani forces came under assault; Subedar Asma and six other personnel were killed.
Authorities have confirmed the attack and the deaths of the six personnel.
