BALOCHISTAN, Pakistan — The Baloch Liberation Army (Azad) has claimed responsibility for a 10-hour armed operation in Dasht-e Goran on October 15, alleging that eight members of a group associated with Qambar Khan were killed.

According to the BLA-Azad statement, the operation targeted a compound linked to Qambar Khan and his son, Pasand Khan, whom the group accuses of collaborating with Pakistani military intelligence agencies.

The group identified Ahmed Nawaz, also known as Komandan, among the eight reported fatalities. It further claimed that Pakistani security forces intervened during the confrontation and that its fighters seized weapons, two motorcycles and a vehicle, and brought down a military drone.

BLA-Azad also alleged that individuals previously detained and interrogated by the group had provided information about Qambar Khan’s activities. The group accused his associates of abductions, extortion, land seizures and other abuses.

The reported casualties, military losses, alleged intelligence links and accusations against the named individuals have not been independently substantiated.

Independent verification is pending.
