Balochistan rebels claim of killing 100 Pakistan soldiers.
The Balochistan Liberation Army claimed to have killed more than 100 soldiers at two military camps in Pakistan. But unfortunately, there is no clear news from the Pakistani media and government.
Pakistani media are blacked out in this region. Yet, somehow, Pakistan doesn’t want to share the actual death report with the world.
According to a source, 75 Pakistan soldiers and 11 rebels died in separate incidents within Balochistan, the Pakistani province of Balochistan.

However, the Pakistani government claims to have lost 7 soldiers and killed 13 rebels.
Camps of security forces in the Panjgur and Naushki areas in the southwest province were attacked by terrorists Wednesday night. They claimed responsibility for the attack.
Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) group has claimed responsibility, saying the suicide bombers set off explosive-laden vehicles near the gates of the military base, killing over 50 troops as reported by the news agency.
“Our armed forces repulsed the big attacks,” Minister of Interior Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad told the media in an interview.
Before the attack, Rasheed Ahmad said that 15 soldiers and four soldiers were killed. Insurgents were killed in the incident.
However, in its later statement, the Pakistani Army said the death toll was thirteen insurgents, and seven soldiers were also killed.
The attack comes just moments before when Pakistani Imran Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, left for the opening ceremony of Beijing for the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.
Imran Khan paid tribute to security forces for restraining terrorist attacks and recognized that they made “great sacrifices.”
“We salute our brave security forces who repulsed terrorist attacks against security forces’ camps in Panjgur and Naushki, Balochistan. The nation stands united behind our security forces who continue to give great sacrifices to protect us,” PTI quoted the official as saying.
This is the second major attack following last week’s incident. Then, the insurgents killed 10 soldiers in the attack against a fort close to Gwadar harbor in the Arabian Sea.
This was the deadliest toll of the Pakistan army during the Balochistan insurgency over the last few years.
