The outlawed Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for the deadly “fidayee” (suicide commando) attack on a Pakistan Coast Guard camp in Panwan area of Jiwani in Gwadar. The separatist group claimed that more than 30 Pakistani security personnel were killed and several others injured in the attack, The Balochistan Post reported.According to reports, the attack took place on Friday evening and was carried out by the BLA’s elite Majeed Brigade. The group claimed that a suicide bomber, identified as Ataullah Baloch alias Ajmal, drove an explosives-laden Mazda truck into the heavily guarded coast guard camp at around 6.32 pm (local time), causing a massive explosion.In an official statement, BLA spokesperson Ziand Baloch said, “As a result of this powerful explosion, the Coast Guard’s strong colonial camp was completely reduced to a pile of debris.”Hakkal, the BLA’s media arm, also released a 43-second video, which it claimed showed a truck loaded with explosives entering the camp just before the blast. The group said subsequent footage showed that a large part of the military camp had been destroyed.The BLA said the truck bomb blast was followed by a coordinated ground attack by its Fateh squad.“Immediately after the attack, our organization’s leading unit, the Fateh Squad, moved swiftly and in an organized manner and began attacking the destroyed camp from all sides,” the BLA statement said.The group claimed that its fighters engaged the surviving coast guard personnel in close combat and killed more than 30 security personnel during the operation.“Given the critical condition of the injured and personnel trapped under the debris, enemy casualties are likely to increase further,” the BLA spokesperson said.The BLA said it would soon release detailed details of the attack through its official channels. The banned organization also said that its armed campaign against Pakistani security forces would continue “with the same intensity” until it achieved “complete independence of Balochistan”.The Pakistan army and government have not yet issued any official statement confirming the number of casualties or the extent of losses claimed by the BLA.
