KALAT: The attacks, carried out by the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), claimed responsibility against this attack, which occurred at separate points along the convoy’s route, resulting in multiple casualties among the security personnel.
In this regard, as per the verified sources, the initial blast was triggered by a roadside improvised explosive device (IED) planted near Mangocher. The device was detonated remotely as the convoy passed, causing severe damage to vehicles and injuring several troops. In addition, a second explosion followed shortly afterward in the Kolwah area, targeting reinforcements responding to the first incident.
Moreover, intelligence sources allege that the BLA receives backing from foreign agencies, most notably India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), to carry out terror operations in Pakistan.
The government has repeatedly accused India of financing and facilitating militant groups in Balochistan, a claim that has intensified following recent escalations in the province.
However, investigations are underway to identify the specific nature of the explosives used and track down those responsible.
