Separatists of the Baloch Liberation Army carried out an improvised explosive device (IED) attack against a Pakistani Military technical truck on Oct. 21, 2022. According to unconfirmed BLF reports, four Pakistani troops were killed and another two were wounded.

The various Baluchistan insurgent groups are fighting for independence from Pakistan as they claim the Pakistan government offers their ethnic group no representation within the government, while extracting resources from their mineral rich province and selling out their ancestral lands to Chinese investors.
