Surab: The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has claimed responsibility for a roadblock and attacks targeting security forces and vehicles linked to the Saindak copper-gold project in Surab district.
In a statement issued to the media, BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch said that BLF fighters set up a roadblock and conducted snap checking on the RCD Highway at Bethagu Cross in the Surab area at around 11:00 am on December 27.
According to the statement, during the roadblock, a convoy consisting of four vehicles assigned to provide security for the transportation of raw materials from the Saindak project arrived at the location. The BLF claimed that its fighters simultaneously targeted the convoy, resulting in one security vehicle coming under severe attack.
The BLF stated that five security personnel were killed in the attack, while several others were injured. It further claimed that other vehicles in the convoy, including those associated with the Saindak project, sustained significant damage.
The group described the Saindak project as exploitative and said the attack was part of its resistance against what it termed the extraction of Balochistan’s resources.
The BLF formally claimed responsibility for the roadblock on the main highway in Surab, the attack on Pakistani security forces, and the damage inflicted on vehicles linked to the Saindak project.
