The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a rebel organization in Balochistan, Pakistan, has carried out a major operation. This armed group has blockaded the Quetta-Karachi Highway, seizing control of the main National Highway. According to ‘The Balochistan Post,’ armed fighters attacked a Levies police station, taking over the building.

The attackers held police officials hostage and set the building on fire. They also torched police vehicles at the station and looted weapons.

Earlier, BLA fighters launched a major offensive in Soorab, occupying the town. Jiyand Baloch, a BLA spokesperson, stated that their commanders have established complete control over Soorab town.
