Balochistan Liberation Front claims female unit killed 9 Pakistani soldiers

Balochistan Liberation Front KAAD Pakistani military separatist attacks women combat unit

The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has released video footage claiming its newly formed all-female combat unit, the Karima Armed Assault Division (KAAD), carried out attacks resulting in the deaths of nine Pakistani military personnel.

According to the BLF, the unit conducted two separate operations in Balochistan. The first occurred on September 22 near Jusak in Turbat, where fighters allegedly targeted a three-vehicle military convoy on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) highway. The group claims six personnel were killed in this incident. A second operation reportedly took place on September 25 in the Manguchar area of the Kalat district following a highway blockade, during which three more military members were allegedly killed.

The released footage shows female fighters in military uniforms undergoing training and participating in operations, including briefing sessions and vehicle inspections. While the BLF has presented these actions as evidence of KAAD's operational capacity, the casualty figures and the details of the attacks have not been independently verified, and Pakistani authorities have not confirmed the reported deaths.
