BLA Claims 38 Operations, Over 32 Pakistani Military Personnel Killed
A group called the Baloch Liberation Army, or BLA, says it carried out 38 attacks in Balochistan, a region in Pakistan.
The attacks happened between August 1 and August 8.
The group says more than 32 Pakistani soldiers and other people were killed and dozens more were hurt.
It says it attacked military convoys and checkpoints, police posts, roads, bridges, and train tracks.
The group also says it destroyed vehicles, a drone, bridges, and part of a railway track.
It says it captured military equipment and killed a person it called a military intelligence operative.
