The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has announced the formation of an armed unit composed of women, named after late Baloch activist Karima Baloch, according to a statement issued by the group.
The BLF claims the newly announced unit carried out its first operation in Turbat, Kech district, where its members allegedly ambushed a convoy. Details regarding casualties or damage have not been independently established.
Women have previously participated in armed attacks by other Baloch militant organisations, particularly the BLA. Therefore, the development should not be described as the first-ever involvement of Baloch women in militant operations. The significant aspect of the BLF announcement is its claim to have established a dedicated female armed unit and deployed it in an ambush operation.
Independent verification is pending.
