This isn’t a protest. It’s not civil unrest. Balochistan has become a battlefield. What started as scattered resistance years ago has now exploded into organized warfare. And it’s spreading fast.

Across all 37 districts, insurgents are attacking convoys, blocking roads, bombing infrastructure and openly challenging the Pakistani state. They’re not hiding in caves anymore. They’re storming camps, holding ground and dictating the pace of conflict.

They call it Operation BAM. Coordinated guerrilla attacks designed not just to kill but to control. And it’s working.

One Hour. Eight Attacks. Total Breakdown

Thursday evening gave a glimpse of what this new wave of insurgency really looks like. In the span of just one hour, eight separate attacks unfolded across different districts.

In Kharaan, militants overran a Frontier Corps post. In Dasht, a government bus came under fire. In Kech’s Tump area, the rebels blocked entire towns like Mirabad and Zamran Bazaar. These weren’t brief skirmishes. They froze movement and choked supply routes.

In Jhao, a military camp was attacked in a firefight that lasted over 30 minutes. Quetta’s Kirani Road saw another hit near Hazara Town. Tump Gomazi, too, witnessed gunfire on security posts. In the jungle-heavy Sopak Cross, a blockade went on for hours. In Dalbandin, gas-loaded cargo trucks were bombed.

These weren’t isolated bursts of violence. They were part of a single tactical message. Control is slipping.

BLA’s War Stats: 668 Soldiers Killed, 284 Attacks in Six Months

From January to June this year, the Baloch Liberation Army claimed 284 attacks. Out of those, nine were special operations. Three were suicide missions. Over 120 involved IEDs or planted bombs.

And they’re not shy about it. They publicly claimed that 668 Pakistani soldiers have been killed in these six months alone.

Whether those numbers are exact or not, they tell you everything about the momentum of this war. The army is bleeding. And it can’t cover it up anymore.

This Is Not Hit and Run. This Is Occupation

The game has changed. Baloch fighters are no longer just ambushing convoys and disappearing. They’re capturing territory. Holding it. Using it.

They say they now control 45 critical locations inside Balochistan. That includes Mangochar, a key city in Kalat district with strategic value. This isn’t rebellion anymore. It’s a slow-motion takeover.

CPEC Is Crumbling Under Fire

The China Pakistan Economic Corridor was supposed to change Pakistan’s future. Billions were poured in. Roads, pipelines, ports, dreams.

Now? It’s all under siege.

Trucks are bombed. Engineers refuse to work. Pipelines keep getting hit. Entire routes are blocked for hours. The Baloch don’t see CPEC as development. They see it as exploitation. And they’re hitting it hard and often.

Islamabad can’t protect its biggest investment corridor. Beijing is watching. And the silence says everything.

The Military’s Losing Grip

The Pakistan Army has built its identity around control. Discipline. Superiority. But Balochistan is now openly mocking that narrative.

Checkpoints are being wiped out. Military convoys are being ambushed. City outskirts are being blocked. Camps are under siege. And no one in Islamabad seems ready to admit how bad it’s gotten.

You can’t call this “isolated unrest” anymore. It’s a national security failure on full display.

This Isn’t Resistance Anymore. It’s Rejection

The Baloch insurgents aren’t demanding reforms. They’re done talking. They’ve stopped appealing to the state and started rejecting the system altogether.

Years of neglect, military crackdowns, stolen resources and broken promises have finally come home to roost. This isn’t about identity anymore. It’s about existence.

And they’ve decided to fight for it.

Islamabad Is Quiet. Too Quiet

Official statements are vague. Numbers are hidden. Deaths are denied. But videos keep surfacing. Smoke plumes over convoys. Militants walking into abandoned camps. Engineers fleeing projects mid-construction.

The state is losing both the narrative and the territory. And the silence is making it worse.

Where This Is Headed

If this pattern holds, the conflict won’t stay confined to Balochistan. It’ll bleed into national politics, foreign relations and internal security elsewhere.

Pakistan’s army is stretched thin. The government is politically unstable. The economy is tanking. And now, the largest province is slipping through its hands.

This is no longer an insurgency to contain. It’s a crisis that could crack the state itself.

It’s Not Just a Fight. It’s a Slow Collapse

The war in Balochistan is revealing something the rest of Pakistan has tried to ignore for decades. That some parts of the country were never fully in the fold. That state control was always more fragile than it looked.

And now, that illusion is breaking. Every bomb. Every ambush. Every blockade. It’s all pointing to the same thing. The empire’s cracking. And this time, there may be no putting it back together.
