The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed on January 31, 2026, to have killed 84 Pakistani army, police, intelligence, and CTD personnel, wounded dozens, and captured 18 alive during coordinated attacks at 48 locations across 14 cities in Balochistan over the past ten hours, as stated in a BLA statement shared by AdityaRajKaul on X between 7:46 PM and 8:46 PM UTC. TBPEnglish on X reported during this one-hour window that BLA fully controls Noshki and the stretch from Mussa Colony to Lak Pass tunnel in Quetta, with clashes ongoing in Kharan, Gwadar, Mastung, and Dalbandin. The BLA statement detailed the second phase of Operation Herof, targeting military, administrative, and security structures in Quetta, Noshki, Mastung, Dalbandin, Kalat, Kharan, Panjgur, Gwadar, Pasni, Turbat, Tump, Buleda, Mangochar, Lasbela, Kech, and Awaran. BLA fighters reportedly took control of multiple enemy posts, including a central military headquarters, destroyed over 30 government properties such as banks, offices, and prisons, and set fire to more than 23 enemy vehicles, paralyzing enemy operations. BLA reported seven of its fighters martyred, including four from the Majeed Brigade elite unit who entered enemy camps. The group stated it consolidated positions at key points and restricted enemy movement across cities, forcing army and police into defensive positions in urban areas. These claims follow Pakistani ISPR's earlier confirmation on January 31 of 92 BLA terrorists killed, 18 civilians and 15 security personnel dead in coordinated attacks that morning, with ongoing clearance operations. Nushki Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Hussain Hazara was recovered safely earlier that evening, per a senior security official and Government of Balochistan.
