Balochistan: The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has included women fighters in the second phase of Operation Herof, ongoing across Balochistan. Two video footages released on the organization’s official Telegram channel “Hakkal” reportedly show female fighters in active combat roles.
In the videos, the women address the Baloch Nation, urging that the struggle should involve not only men but also sisters and daughters.
In one video, a fully armed and alert Baloch woman fighter is shown inside a government building, stating that she is waiting for the enemy, who does not appear out of fear. She claims that the enemy only exerts force on “oppressed mothers and sisters” and cannot confront them directly. She emphasizes that the Baloch Nation should awaken and stand alongside the fighters, asserting that the enemy’s days are numbered.
In her message, the fighter also addresses those providing intelligence on Baloch combatants to state forces, saying that while young fighters risk their lives and make sacrifices, informants continue their activities for personal gain.
In the second video, another female fighter, reportedly in Pasni, a coastal town in Gwadar, points to a Pakistan Coast Guard camp and addresses her message to the Baloch community, particularly mothers and sisters. She calls on them to join the struggle for freedom, stand alongside the fighters with their children, and continue the movement.
She states in the video that they successfully entered the Coast Guard camp in Pasni and that their operations are ongoing. She mentions that the team entered the camp at 5 a.m., and all members are reportedly safe. The footage also shows male fighters positioned with her, firing intermittently during the operation.
