The conflict between Baloch rebels and the Pakistani army in Pakistan's restive and strategically important province of Balochistan has now taken a very bloody and violent turn. Immediately after the deadly airstrike carried out by fighter planes and gunship helicopters in the mountainous areas of Balochistan on the orders of Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir, Baloch freedom fighters have retaliated in a very aggressive manner. Baloch militants retaliated by targeting the heavily guarded convoy of the Balochistan Provincial Home Minister and resorted to indiscriminate firing. After this high-profile attack, there has been panic from Islamabad to Pakistani Military Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. Munir's airstrike and huge anger among Baloch civilians Pakistan Army had recently carried out heavy air strikes in the remote areas of Kech, Panjgur, Bolan and Kalat of Balochistan, claiming to target the positions of Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF). Not only were dozens of missiles fired in these airstrikes but civilian settlements were also damaged on a large scale. Baloch political organizations and human rights activists alleged that the army's indiscriminate shelling resulted in many innocent civilian casualties, including women and children. Baloch armed organizations had openly declared against this barbaric air action that they will force the Pakistani government and military generals to pay a heavy price for this airstrike. Attack on Home Minister's convoy with modern automatic weapons: Just hours after the air strikes, when the convoy of the Balochistan Home Minister was passing through a sensitive highway with heavy security cover of bulletproof vehicles, Frontier Corps (FC) and police commandos, the insurgents who were already ambushed suddenly attacked. According to witnesses and security sources, rebels fired hundreds of rounds from sniper guns, rocket propelled grenades (RPG) and automatic assault rifles at the convoy from high mountain peaks. Many vehicles of the security forces were badly damaged during the attack. A fierce encounter and heavy firing from both sides continued for several minutes between the security guards and the attackers. Several bullet marks were also found on the Home Minister's bulletproof vehicle, although security commandos somehow managed to evacuate him to a safe area. Situation getting out of control in Balochistan and failure of Pakistan Army. This attack is not the first incident, but for some time now the control of Pakistan government and army in Balochistan seems to be almost collapsing. Baloch insurgent organizations are no longer limited to just sporadic IED blasts, but they are directly targeting the convoys of Brigadiers, Colonels, Intelligence Officers (ISI) and ministers of Pakistan Army in a planned manner. The continuous attacks on Chinese CPEC projects, Gwadar Port and Pakistani security posts have exposed General Asim Munir's military strategy. Baloch insurgents are continuously giving the message that the plunder of their natural resources and military atrocities will now be responded to with the same force and language.
