The BLF launched at least 17 attacks across Panjgur, Surab, Kech, and Kharan, disrupting communication lines, damaging administrative infrastructure, and striking military checkpoints.

Baloch claimed that the attacks were carefully coordinated to inflict both "human and material losses" on Pakistani security forces.
The operation is designed to show that the BLF fighters can launch large-scale operations and attacks.
"The resistance has entered a new phase," Major Gwahram said in a press statement. "Operation Baam is designed to demonstrate that Baloch fighters are capable of launching large-scale, synchronised operations across vast geography." He added that the BLF would release further details once the operation concludes.
However, the Pakistani authorities have not confirmed the extent of damage the attacks have caused, while local sources reported significant disruption in the regions.
It marks one of the largest and most coordinated operations by the BLF in the past years. The group has been accusing Pakistan of exploiting Balochistan's resources while also denying to basic rights of the people.
Moreover, human rights groups and Baloch political organisations have repeatedly accused the Pakistani state of conducting arbitrary detentions and enforced disappearances in the region.
