MASTUNG, Balochistan, Nov. 12, 2026: The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on an army camp in the Kanak area of Mastung district, where a powerful explosion was reported earlier in the day.
Local sources said the blast was heard several kilometres away and shattered windows in nearby homes. Local media reported that an explosives-laden truck was driven into the main army camp in Kanak and that dozens of military personnel were killed, including senior officers.
In a statement to the media, BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch said the group’s suicide unit, the Majeed Brigade, targeted an enemy army camp at Kondab in the Kanak area with a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED). He claimed the blast destroyed the camp, after which other fighters entered and attacked the personnel inside. He said at least 18 soldiers had been killed, that the toll could rise and that the remaining fighters withdrew safely.
The BLA’s media wing, Hakkal, also released a video of the attack, which has since spread widely on social media. The footage appears to show the attacker driving toward the camp and detonating the vehicle. It then shows BLA fighters standing around what the group says is the destroyed camp. The BLA claims the camp was completely destroyed and the details will release to the media soon.
