Balochistan Terrorism Watch

army cannot understand. whether or not she propagates anti-state/army narrative or even hate speech, it doesn't matter. She is not carrying arms and has a massive following.
I bet is she starts talking about peace, without getting a major relief for Balochis, BLA would kill her.

Army understands the problem on the ground better than you, me and most of these so-called "For Baloch" voices. You aren't the first one who has suggested a "peaceful" approach to pacify these elements.

This has been tried countless times and only works when the elements that are acting out with foreign support and have separatist tendencies are delivered serious kinetic reverses which enables those who are willing to live within the ambit of the Pakistani constitution to step forward and work with the state of Pakistan.

Any citizen of Pakistan abetting or supporting a secessionist movement should be censored. That is the case all around the world. In the neighborhood, while living in India, try speaking up about breaking India and see what happens.

They have more resources and intel, so yes, at least they know better about the ground situation. I last visited my birth city in 96. My entire family moved from there in 2007.
However, if you are telling me that Army knows economics, politics, diplomacy, media, etc., then that is too much to claim from a hierarchical institute.

Ok. Carry on with operations, IBPs, installing puppets, killing spree, blocking media, etc. Do let me know when Pakistanis can visit the area peacefully.

India has many more freedoms than we ever had. Breaking a country is an extreme point for any country. I know that they have dealt better in that regard by forgiving many previous fighters in Kashmir, NE, etc. They entered politics later.

There's only one outcome iA and that is the complete destruction of those looking to secede from the country at the behest of their minders sitting outside of Pakistan.

Like the rest of Pakistanis, the choice for the separatist Baloch elements is to either reconcile with the state of Pakistan or get decimated. It will take time but the outcome will be one of normalizing the province no matter whatever the security costs are.

This victim card nonsense has a very limited shelf-life specially when Baluchistan has been given far more than its share of resources. There is NOTHING coming out of the province that can fund the Pakistani economy even for a single year. Baloch are accommodated ALL over Pakistan in EVERY part of the country yet non-baluchis are being murdered in the province. Why is Balochistan the exception to the rule which allows the national military to garrison every other part of Pakistan? The hell with their Sardars who have misled their people sitting in the Scandinavia and the hell with their abettors both inside and outside Pakistan.

People tend to bring up the EP situation to spread fear. EP and Balochistan are two different things. Pakistan has not even expended a tenth of its resources that it can bring to bear in this province. There is no way in hell that the secessionist will get their way inshallah.

And please, spare us this nonsensical Indian propaganda. They have dealt with every insurgency with force which has lead to negotiation in some cases. Kashmir and Nagaland are clearly being handled through massive force and are a stark exception. All insurgencies lead to some sort of talks and cooling down. Pakistan's kinetic efforts iA will deliver similar results in Balochistan.

They have M4, M16, drones. QC, Satellite devices and other modern equipment's, suicide bombers of every age and gender, Stockpiling weapons and Ammos along with Zionistic Race based superiority Complex, Believing they are chosen one. Do you think they bring that for peace??? May be you can go and try negotiating on behalf of Pak. Wondering what possible conclusion that you can bring out.

 

[Areesh]

So its fake.

It always was

 

[Areesh]

Not really, video doesn't look AI at all. And the photograph matches the vid.

It is fake

 

[Lion]

is this true?
BLA releases video of 7 Pakistani soldiers captured during “Operation Herof 2.0” in Balochistan, issues 7-day ultimatum for prisoner swap.

View attachment 178930

It is fake. Likely not AI, just BLA members dressed up as soldiers. Watch the videos they’ve uploaded where the “soldiers” are being interviewed.

First guy says he joined the army in October 2022 and his rank is Naik. That is not possible at all, he would be a sepoy or at most a lance Naik at that time. He also says he lives in Sawabi but is going going home for leave to Karachi.

Second guy has a different name spelling and rank on his army ID and his army Pay card. His date of joining also doesn’t make sense because if his DOB is accurate he’d be past the maximum joining age. He says he joined in October 2020 And is a Sepoy (he should be a lance Naik), But his army pay card has his rank as Havildar which requires 10+ years of service. So several inconsistencies there. His driving license says it was issued in 2025 and expires in 2020 and is issued in KPK despite him being a resident of Punjab. His CNIC says it’s issued in 2025 but is not computerized, non Computerized NICs havent been issued in nearly a decade.


Lastly, if these guys were going on leave as they say in the video, why are they in full uniform and gear, no soldier goes to leave wearing a uniform. This is besides the fact that ground travel for leave has been disallowed for several months in BL for all army personnel, heck even NCBs are being brought on flights.


Lastly, having spend years among those guys, no soldier talks like this, they don’t say “my name is this and my rank is this” - every soldier will introduce himself as “I am Rank-Name”, very easy to spot actors if you know what you’re looking for.

No it's fake AI generated look at their uniform closely. Clothes Wrinkle pattern near knees just doesn't seems natural. Clothes get stretched when you are in sitting posture. Also AI using and manipulating publicly available data So it might be possible that some of the details such as ID card numbers and other personal documents match a real person. Everything is available online in Pakistan including confidential government and NADRA data . Very much that people will even mistake it as real person from their friends and family circle. Even the video is AI generated.

A typical pattern observed in the thread. One revolutionary puts up video from Afghanistan and says locals are pelting Pakistan Army vehicles with stones, some time later another revolutionary casually posts a fake picture claiming Pakistan Army captured jawans and innocently asks if this is fake or true. Meanwhile other revolutionaries bring in age old mantra of lack of development and bemoan some alleged lack of representation of locals in government and share in resources.

This concentrated coordinated tactics usually follow attacks. Meanwhile on other threads the same revolutionaries are gaslighting sectarian discord by disguising their efforts in the name of Jinnah and Iqbal.

Pakistani authorities may have answers to hardcore terrorism but this digital fitnagiri goes unchecked aimed at encouraging hardcore terrorism. Very soon these people will openly start claiming that the terrorists are fighting a legitimate struggle for their rights.

The difference with Indian insurgencies is stark though. BLA get cross border support from terrorist Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Pakistan have virtually stopped sending anything across IoK border for geopolitical reasons and to avoid sanctions. NE India insurgents are also on their own.

Pakistan cannot take care of BLA/TTP without hitting Afghanistan. Taliban is terrorist regime sanctioned to hell and back so this threat will not work against them.

Indian insurgencies affect 5% of their land and people, Pakistan insurgencies affect half of landmass and 25% of population.

Now the problem is, it's not just the terrorists

If it was Indians or just separatists you can deal with them


Not only do we have a ethnocentric lannats who for decades have been allowed to run around spreading seditious poison without the state falling on them like a ton of bricks
We have a new generation of PTI cult members who are looking for every excuse and reason to start their PTI Mujra


Pakistan has to start getting serious, it has traditionally gone very easy on people because they were perceived to be naraaz brothers who we could bring around

All it did was add to the problems


Act like a state, use the law against those who wage war against you
Use sedition laws to round up the extremists that target our country and those who support them with excuses


And make sure we have strong laws against those who spread digital propaganda of our enemies

We have laws from colonial era so rest assure that they are ruthless and unaccomodating. The problem lies in refusal of enacting these laws across the board without prejudice.

Government usually plays politics playing good cop bad cop against these elements for political leverage. The carrot and stick tactics just don't work with revolutionaries and hardcore terrorists.

Somewhere along the way there's capacity issue as well for government and LEAs and cultural issues don't help where either these elements find refuge in cultural practices or are encouraged by some subcultures if not all which glorify badmashi. In some parts of the country people only vote for outlaws as they have cultural admiration towards the phenomenon. It may well be that parents are not teaching their kids to be law abiding citizens as such existence is seen as weak and submissive but teach them to be some Maula Jatt outlaw as more respectable way of life.

I am sure you are saying that on number and resource basis. It is difficult for Baloch to cede away from us. You see, we should have the moral high ground in such a situation. Otherwise, we will be considered an occupying force. Lastly, you cannot kill all the people or BLA will keep recruiting dissidents and marginalised.
It was 1955. If the elite were thinking that, imagine the commons.

Look. India hasn't faced a militancy as equipped and modern like TTP or BLA. However, Naxals, Kashmiris, Nagas, etc., were well entrenched in the masses (BLA come close to that). Only Kahslistani were quashed, and the rest were settled mainly politically (with major/minor operations).

14 suspected militants killed during CTD operations in Quetta, Barkhan​

Abdullah Zehri
February 18, 2026

QUETTA: The Balochistan Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Wednesday said a total of 14 suspected militants were killed in separate security operations in Quetta and Barkhan districts.

In a statement, the CTD said eight armed men were killed during a security operation in Quetta’s Darakhshan area.

“Eight armed persons were killed in a fire exchange during the operation,” read the statement, adding that three CTD personnel were injured during the action.

According to the CTD, weapons and ammunition were recovered from the killed miscreants. It noted that the dead individuals were said to be from a banned outfit.

In a separate statement, the CTD said “six terrorists were killed in a fire exchange” during an intelligence-based operation in Barkhan.

“All security personnel remained safe,” it stated, adding that arms and ammunition were recovered from the killed militants.

“The terrorists were involved in the planning of disruptive actions,” the CTD said, reaffirming to continue its efforts to eliminate terrorism.
