A vehicle laden with improvised explosive devices (IEDs) struck one of the buses, allegedly as part of a suicide attack, while another was targeted with rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). BLA has claimed that 90 Pakistani soldiers were killed in the assault.

This attack is the latest escalation in Baloch insurgents’ long-running resistance against the Pakistani military, which they accuse of occupation and human rights abuses in Balochistan. The Balochistan Liberation Army and its factions have intensified their operations in recent years, targeting Pakistani forces and infrastructure.
The Pakistani Army, however, presented a different version of events, acknowledging the attack but reporting lower casualties. Official military sources stated that 5 soldiers were killed and 21 others injured when their convoy, traveling from Quetta to Taftan, came under attack. The army described the assault as a coordinated ambush involving an improvised explosive device (IED) and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs).
“A security forces convoy traveling from Quetta to Taftan was attacked. The convoy, consisting of seven buses and two vehicles, was targeted. One of the buses was hit by a vehicle loaded with IEDs, possibly a suicide attack, while another was targeted by RPGs,” a Pakistani military official said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the BLA claimed that after the initial explosion, fighters from the Fateh Squad moved in, surrounded the convoy, and “systematically eliminated all military personnel on board.” The attack marks another significant strike by Baloch insurgents against Pakistani security forces, further intensifying tensions in the region.
Early on Sunday, at least five Pakistani soldiers were reportedly killed and 21 were injured after their convoy, travelling from Quetta to Taftan, was attacked on Sunday. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the deadly ambush on a Pakistani military bus. While Pakistan officially confirmed 5 deaths, BLA claimed that at least 90 military personnel were killed.
