Part 6/10:
Currently, the BLA stands out as the most organized and vigorous insurgent group in Balochistan, officially labeled as a terrorist organization by various international bodies. Its operations have escalated, particularly against military, civilian, and foreign targets. Notably, the BLA is renowned for attacks on Chinese interests in Pakistan, which it accuses of exploiting local resources.
Between 2018 and 2024 alone, the BLA has consistently targeted Chinese nationals and facilities, signaling its intent to resist foreign investments seen as detrimental to Baloch rights. The group's recent hijacking of a train underscores the increasing boldness and tactical sophistication of the BLA.
