In Pakistan, at least seven Frontier Corps soldiers were killed and 21 injured after their convoy travelling from Quetta to Taftan was attacked on Sunday. While official sources confirmed seven dead, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for the attack, alleging 90 military personnel were killed. A statement by a Pakistani official said, “A security forces convoy travelling from Quetta to Taftan was attacked. The convoy, consisting of seven buses and two vehicles, was targeted. One of the buses was hit by a Vehicle-Borne IED, possibly a suicide attack, while another was targeted by Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPGs).”
According to Noshki Station House Officer (SHO), initial investigations suggest the incident was a suicide attack. SHO said that evidence from the site of the attack suggested that a suicide attacker rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the FC convoy.BLA said: The Majeed Brigade, the Fidayee unit of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), targeted a convoy of the occupying Pakistani military in a VBIED Fidayee attack near Rakhshan Mill on the RCD Highway in Noshki. The convoy consisted of eight buses, one of which was completely destroyed in the explosion.Immediately after the attack, the Fateh Squad of the BLA advanced and completely surrounded another bus, systematically eliminating all military personnel on board, bringing the total number of enemy casualties to 90.
This incident comes days after BLA insurgents hijacked a train with nearly 440 passengers. Meanwhile, Army Aviation helicopters have been deployed to ferry the injured and drones have been launched for surveillance of the area, the official said.
