The Baloch Liberation Army has released a video showing the attack on a Pakistani paramilitary convoy in Naushki, Balochistan. The footage captures the moment of the blast and the aftermath.

Separatist militants who bombed a paramilitary convoy in restive southwestern Pakistan on Sunday have released a video of the attack. The footage, dated March 16, was shared on X by a journalist who attributed the same to the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) media.

The video shows the moment when a bus was bombed in the district of Naushki in the restive province of Balochistan and thick smoke billowing from the vehicle.

The latter part of the video shows the wreckage of the burnt bus and the aftermath of the attack.

According to Zafar Zamanani, a local police chief, the explosion also caused damage to another bus nearby.

Local sources said at least 11 were killed, while other 22 were injured in the attack.

However, the Baloch Liberation Army, which claimed responsibility for the attack, claimed 90 Pakistani army personnel were killed, according to Reuters.

Later, Pakistani authorities claimed five deaths in the attack.

Reuters also quoted senior Superintendent of Police for Noskhi district, Hashim Momand, as saying that more than 30 paramilitary force members were left injured in the attack.

This comes days after the same group hijacked the Jaffar Express in Pakistan and held hostages for more than 30 hours.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a statement condemned the attack, which came as Pakistan deals with a growing security crisis in its regions bordering Afghanistan.
