Balochistan Liberation Front Forms Female Combat Unit Amid Renewed Insurgency
The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has introduced a female combat unit called the Karima Armed Assault Division (KAAD), named after activist Karima Baloch. The group released footage showing women undergoing weapons training and participating in operations, including ambushes on Pakistani military convoys near Turbat and vehicle checks in Kalat. The BLF claims these actions resulted in casualties and damage to military vehicles, though these figures have not been independently verified. Pakistani authorities have not confirmed the BLF's claims.
