BLA announces "successful completion" of Operation Dar-e-Bolan, accuses Pak army of resorting to lies to cover up defeat

Balochistan [Pakistan], March 19 (ANI): The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) announced the "successful conclusion" of Operation Dar-e-Bolan on March 18. BLA accused the Pakistan army of resorting to lies and deceit to cover up their defeat.
According to BLA, the operation comprised two parts, the first phase was completed in February 2024 with the capture of Mach City while the second phase began with the attack on the Jalar Express in March 2025.
In the statement, BLA stated that the Pakistan army faced defeat in the operation as over 354 security personnel were killed while more than 100 others were injured and 214 personnel were taken hostage.
BLA stated, "Baloch Liberation Army today announces the successful conclusion of Operation Dara-e-Bolan on March 18. This operation consisted of two parts, the first phase of which was completed in February 2024 with the capture of Mach city while the second phase began with the attack on the JaIar Express in March 2025 and was completed after a week of intense battle."
"In this operation, the occupying Pakistani army suIered the biggest defeat in its history in Balochistan, where more than 354 personnel were eliminated over 100 were wounded and 214 personnel were taken hostage. Due to the enemy's stubbornness and refusal to exchange prisoners of war all the hostages were executed," it added.
According to the statement, 13 BLA "freedom fighters", including six Fidayeen from the Majeed Brigade, four fighters from the Fateh Squad and three fighters from STOS, were killed during the operation. The BLA said that these "freedom fighters" sacrificed their lives and made it clear to the enemy that "the Baloch national resistance is invincible, and that the occupying army will have to retreat from the Baloch motherland sooner or later."
In a statement, BLA stated, "Demonstrating its military prowess, combat skills and intelligence superiority Baloch Liberation Army targeted a convoy of eight Pakistani army buses in Noshki, except Bolan in a VBIED Fidayeen attack and ambushed the targets. More than 90 army personnel were eliminated, and dozens were wounded in this attack."
"Thus, in just one-week BLA eliminated over 354 enemy personnel and wounded more than 100 while also shooting down a drone reflecting the success of the Baloch resistance force against the enemy's modern military technology," it added.
The operation started with an attack on the Jalar Express on March 11, where BLA freedom fighters dealt a "crushing blow to the enemy eliminating over 30 army, Frontier Corps and police personnel and capturing 214 military personnel."
Half of the arrested personnel were confined in the bogies of the JaIar Express and handed over to the Fidayeen of the Majeed Brigade who were given instructions that if the enemy made any military advances the hostages should be executed and the targeting military commandos should be eliminated.
BLA launched another attack in Noshki, where a convoy of eight buses carrying Pakistani Army personnel travelling back to their units after vacation was attacked by the Majeed Brigade with a VBIED.
Following the explosion, the Pakistan army personnel became unconscious, allowing the BLA's Fateh Squad to ambush and neutralize all personnel in the second bus one by one. It further said, "After this remaining six buses were ambushed by the freedom fighters, eliminating more than 90 additional personnel and wounding over 50."
BLA accused Pakistani army of resorting to lies to cover up its defeat after facing loss in Bolan Pass and Noshki.
In a statement, BLA stated, "The Pakistani army is now resorting to lies, deceit and propaganda to cover up its historic defeat. After suIering a disastrous loss in Bolan Pass and Noshki where over 354 enemy personnel were eliminated more than a hundred were wounded, and dozens were taken as prisoners of war the enemy had no choice but to fabricate lies and cover up its own shame instead of admitting defeat."
"Pakistan's state institutions, especially its propaganda arm ISPR as always are trying to blame external factors for their failures. This is the same outdated accusation that Pakistan has always levelled against every resistance to its state terrorism," it added.
In a statement, the Baloch group called itself an invincible force on the strength of its land.
BLA stated, "The fact is that BLA has become an invincible force on the strength of its own land, people and public support. Baloch resistance is a manifestation of the collective strength of the Baloch nation, which does not need any external help," it added. (ANI)
