Gharida Farooqi Claims BLA Media Facility Was Targeted in Pakistan’s Helmand Strike

Pakistani journalist Gharida Farooqi (@GFarooqi) has claimed that Pakistan’s airstrike in Garmser district of Afghanistan’s Helmand province targeted a facility allegedly being used as a Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) media operations centre.
According to Farooqi, nine alleged militants were killed in the strike, including individuals she identified as Sherwan, Huzaifa, Farooq and Hazrat Baloch. She further claimed that the compound belonged to Mullah Nader, whom she described as a Taliban border-force commander and an alleged facilitator of the BLA in Helmand and Nimroz.
Pakistan has officially confirmed conducting strikes at two locations inside Afghanistan and claims 22 militants were killed overall. However, the Pakistani government’s official statement did not publicly identify the individuals named by Farooqi or specifically describe the Helmand target as a BLA media centre.
Independent verification of Farooqi’s claims is pending.
