The recent developments in Balochistan have drawn significant attention due to the Baloch Liberation Army's (BLA) ongoing 'Operation Herof 2.0,' which marks a significant escalation in the region's insurgency. According to News18 Kannada, the operation involves 'a massive series of coordinated attacks across 12 districts in Pakistan, including Quetta and Gwadar.' This operation, as reported by various sources, is one of the most extensive in the history of the BLA, challenging Pakistan's security establishment and highlighting the deep-rooted grievances in the region. CAPITAL TV describes the situation as 'deteriorating rapidly,' with Pakistan facing 'economic collapse and international embarrassment,' compounded by 'massive public anger and internal rebellion.' The BLA's actions are seen as a direct challenge to the Pakistani military's authority, with the BLA's spokesperson, Jeeyand Baloch, rejecting Pakistani military statements as mere 'propaganda' (Pakistan News Network).
