In the morning, BLA operatives killed Khadim Hussain Pandrani son of Dur Mohammad, the leader of a death squad allegedly formed by the Pakistani army and intelligence agencies, at Mongchar Johan Cross Bazaar in Kalat.

Khadim Hussain was accused of involvement in numerous abductions and killings of Baloch youths as well as anti-social activities.

Later that night, BLA forces fired four grenade launcher shells at the FC camp in Mongchar, causing casualties among the occupying forces.

Azad Baloch confirmed these incidents and emphasized that such attacks would continue until the independence of Balochistan is achieved.

On the same day, BLA operatives targeted an FC check post near Sariab Mill School on Sariab Road in Quetta in a grenade attack.

A hand grenade fell inside the check post, resulting in the death of one FC official and injuries to two others.

June 23, 2024: Attack on Pakistani Army Camp in Johan On the night of June 23, BLA Sarmachaars launched a coordinated assault on a Pakistani army camp in Johan, Kalat.

BLA spokesperson Azad Baloch accepted responsibility for all the attacks and added that such attacks would continue until the freedom of Balochistan.

Warning to Informers and Pakistani Operatives The BLA has issued stern warnings to informers and operatives collaborating with Pakistani forces.

On June 24, BLA operatives killed Mir Beg Jattak son of Murad, an informant of Pakistani forces, in Johan.

Mir Beg had reportedly been working with Pakistani military and intelligence since 2015 and continued his activities even after being released on assurance from his family in 2023.

According to BLA statement, in 2023 during interrogation, Mir Beg accepted his mistakes and promised not to collaborate with Pakistani forces against the Baloch struggle.

However, his activities were being observed and it has been found that he broke his promise and joined hands with other local informers of Pakistani intelligence agencies.

Azad Baloch warned that the identities of other informers have been revealed to the BLA, and they are under close surveillance.

Families of these operatives have been urged to distance their members from anti-national activities, with the threat of severe consequences for non-compliance.

The Baloch Liberation Army has reiterated its commitment to continuing its armed struggle until the liberation of Balochistan from Pakistan’s occupation.
