BLA Claims Fidayeen Attack on Shafiq Mengal Hideout in Khuzdar

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for a fidayeen attack targeting a location it describes as the hideout of Shafiq Mengal in Khuzdar.

In a statement attributed to BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch, the group said the operation was carried out by its Majeed Brigade. The BLA claims that more than 20 operatives associated with Shafiq Mengal were killed during the attack.

At the time of publication, Aajoi News has not independently verified the BLA's casualty claims or the details of the incident. Pakistani authorities had not issued an official statement confirming or commenting on the reported attack.

The incident comes amid ongoing security tensions in Balochistan, where armed attacks and military operations continue to be reported. Independent verification of claims from conflict-affected areas remains difficult due to limited access.
