Pakistani security forces cleared Quetta of Baloch Liberation Army control between 9:15:51 AM and 11:15:29 AM UTC on February 1, 2026, while ongoing firing, explosions, and attacks persisted in Nushki, Sibi, Sohbatpur, and Bakhtiarabad over the past two hours, according to BilalYasirBjr on X. In Nushki, clashes continued at the FC headquarters after 24 hours with helicopter flights ongoing. BilalYasirBjr reported that situations in Nushki, Sibi, Sohbatpur, and Bakhtiarabad remained abnormal this morning, with a security forces post in Sibi targeted in another attack following last night's DC office assault, a check post hit in Bakhtiarabad, and posts attacked in Doda Taba and Basket areas of Sohbatpur, as posted at approximately 10:00 AM UTC during the nearly two-hour window. This follows BLA control of Noshki and parts of Quetta reported up to 8:45 AM UTC earlier today, per previous TBPEnglish updates, with a clearance operation launched in Nushki and heavy firing noted before the current window. Quetta clearance marks a shift from prior reports of BLA holding large Baloch areas there while Pakistani forces secured only the red zone and cantonment.
