(NSFW) Balochi Militant Shot at Point Blank Range During Assault
Published 3 years ago
A member of the Baloch Liberation Army gets shot in the face at point-blank range during an assault against the Frontier Corps in the Balochistan province of Pakistan.
For those not in the loop, there is currently an ongoing conflict in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. According to the Pakistani Ministry of Defense, the fighting there is registered as low-intensity. A group known as the Baloch Liberation Army wants more control from the Pakistani Government over the vast natural resources in the region. The fighting here began in 2003, and has only recently been ramping up to a more intense level as the Pakistani Government has been focusing their resources elsewhere. (See Afghanistan.)
This video is an excerpt from a much longer one hour long video that our author Will Killmore has already written about in the past. He covered down on the full-scale assault at length in this video, which is a two part write-up where you can also learn more about the now escalating conflict in Balochistan.
This clip is just a small excerpt of the larger video. I highly recommend you go check out Will's write-up on the situation and watch the longer video so you can have a better understanding of the situation and context. The TL;DR version is this: The Baloch Liberation Army attacked a position of strategic importance to the Frontier Corps, overrunning them with a larger force. Three BLA fighters were killed in the assault, and somewhere around 24 Ghazaband Scouts were killed. The fighting ended with the BLA firmly in control of an outpost in Marwaar, in the vicinity of the Bolan Pass in Baluchistan province on May 31, 2021.
