Press Release
The occupying Pakistani army has once again demonstrated irresponsible military aggression against the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) fighters by launching drone strikes and firing two shells. However, due to the agility of the BLA fighters and their excellent defensive tactics, all the fighters remained safe. This attack only proves Pakistan’s incapacity to make any serious decisions regarding the prisoner exchange and showcases its stubborn approach driven by war madness.
BLA has made it clear that if the Pakistani army ignores our ultimatum, the responsibility for the consequences will lie solely with Pakistan. In response to today’s bombing, 10 more hostages will be eliminated. The BLA warns that any further aggression by the Pakistani army, even if a single bullet is fired, will lead to 10 more personnel being eliminated.
Despite the Pakistani state and military institutions trying to create false propaganda about their success, the BLA remains firmly in control. Over 12 hours have passed, and not a single BLA fighter has been harmed. The enemy’s claims are simply an attempt to cover their defeat and helplessness on the battlefield.
Pakistan continues to disregard the prisoner exchange, while BLA adheres to international laws of war and moral principles. The enemy’s propaganda about a rescue mission is false. The BLA, under the principles of war and morality, released all women, children, sick, and Baloch civilians as a sign of its adherence to the Baloch resistance’s high moral traditions.
The BLA maintains its position that the enemy is the occupying state forces, not unarmed civilians, who are committing atrocities to maintain military and colonial domination over Balochistan. Pakistan has only 40 hours left before the ultimatum expires. If the demands are not met and the state’s stubbornness continues, 5 hostages will be eliminated for every hour after the ultimatum ends.
The BLA reminds Pakistan that this war was initiated by the occupying state, but it will be brought to an end on the BLA’s terms. The decision remains in the hands of the enemy—either show seriousness or prepare to collect the bodies of more personnel.
