BLA Claims Killing of 7 Operatives, Arrest of MI Official in Coordinated Operations Across Balochistan The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for a series of coordinated operations in Kharan, Kalat, Nushki, Quetta, and Shahrag, during which it said seven operatives linked to state intelligence networks and pro-government "death squads" were killed, and a Military Intelligence (MI) official was arrested.
