Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) militants targeted five distinct attacks against the Pakistani army in Zamuran and Panjgur, killing four Pakistani army personnel, the BLA said in a statement.

As per the statement, BLA claimed that it first struck Pakistani army personnel in the Dashtok Bamblo region of Zamuran. In another incident in the Zamuri sector, the fighters undertook a a remote-controlled IED attack on Pakistani army troops who were collecting water near their base.

Further in another attack, the BLA fighters targeted and dismantled surveillance cameras placed by the Pakistani army near their encampment in the Sah Dem area of Zamuran last week. The Pakistani army utilised a quadcopter for reconnaissance on fighters, which was also hit and destroyed, it said in the statement.

Last week on Friday, the BLA executed a hand grenade attack on a Pakistani army checkpoint at Kalam Chowk in the Chitkan region of Panjgur. This explosion killed one Pakistani soldier and left two others injured, according to the statement.

Earlier, five personnel from the Pakistani security forces were killed and several others, including a senior officer, were injured during two separate attacks. In the first event, BLA fighters ambushed a Pakistani military convoy in the Kund Kapran area of Zamuran within the Kech district.

"Two enemy vehicles were subjected to intense fire. One was obliterated, leading to the immediate deaths of five occupying soldiers and causing injuries to several others," Jeeyand Baloch, the BLA spokesperson stated.
