The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for two separate attacks on Pakistani military forces in Balochistan, alleging that 25 military personnel were killed and three vehicles destroyed. The group said fighters ambushed a military convoy at Ziarat Cross, initially claiming 18 deaths before revising the figure to 25. The BLA also released a 71-second video that it said showed the attack site, burning military vehicles and seized weapons. In a second attack near Hajika in Surab, the group said an explosives-laden vehicle destroyed a military vehicle and killed seven personnel. Pakistan has not independently confirmed the BLA's casualty claims.
