Pakistan hiding defeat: Baloch insurgents reject Army’s Jaffar Express op claim

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) on Thursday denied the Pakistani military’s claim that the Jaffar Express hostage crisis has ended, saying intense fighting continues, and Pakistani forces are taking heavy losses.

“The ground reality is that the battle continues on multiple fronts and the enemy (Pakistani military) is suffering heavy casualties and military losses,” said Jeeyand Baloch, spokesperson for the BLA. “The occupying army has neither achieved victory on the battlefield nor managed to save its hostage personnel,” he added.
