Two Baloch armed organisations, the United Baloch Army (UBA) and the Baloch Republican Guards (BRG), have claimed responsibility for separate attacks in Balochistan’s Kachhi district.

The incidents occurred on Wednesday and were accompanied by intermittent clashes between Pakistani security forces and armed fighters in the region, according to The Balochistan Post.

Reports indicated that a vehicle belonging to Pakistani security forces was struck by an explosion in the Sanni area of Kachhi. Armed exchanges were also reported from nearby locations, suggesting a wider pattern of confrontation.

UBA spokesperson Mazar Baloch stated that the group had targeted a vehicle from a seven‑vehicle convoy of Pakistani forces using a remote‑controlled explosive device in the Chighardi area between Dhadar and Sanni. He claimed that eight personnel were killed instantly and two others sustained serious injuries.

The spokesperson added that UBA fighters engaged security personnel escorting the convoy in a brief exchange of fire before withdrawing. He declared that the organisation claimed responsibility for the attack and emphasised that such operations would continue until the establishment of an “independent Balochistan”.

Meanwhile, the BRG announced that its fighters had been carrying out attacks on two separate convoys of Pakistani forces since 7:00 am on Wednesday. The group claimed that clashes were still underway at the time of its statement and promised to release a detailed account later.

In another statement, BRG spokesperson Dostain Baloch said the group had targeted a government irrigation office in the Dhadar area of Kachhi by planting explosive devices at the site. He alleged that government personnel present at the office suffered casualties and material losses, while the building itself was extensively damaged.

The BRG claimed responsibility for the attack and asserted that such operations would continue until the “complete independence of Balochistan”. The group’s statement echoed the broader narrative of Baloch armed organisations, which have repeatedly declared their intent to escalate operations against Pakistani forces and state institutions.

The attacks in Kachhi highlight the continuing volatility in Balochistan, where multiple armed groups remain active. The use of remote‑controlled explosives, direct assaults on convoys, and targeting of government infrastructure reflects a sustained insurgency campaign.

Pakistani security forces have faced repeated challenges in containing these operations, while the armed groups continue to frame their actions as part of a wider struggle for independence.
