One of these attacks took place in March, when BLA rebels killed 33 people in an attack on a train carrying hundreds of passengers in Balochistan, killing most soldiers.On 11 May, the BLA called for Indian support against Pakistan, increasing tension between the two countries. India has not yet responded to the BLA’s overcher.The BLA denied the claim that it operates as an Indian proxy and said, “If we receive political, diplomatic and defense support from the world, especially from India, Baloch nation can eliminate this terrorist state and lay the foundation of a peaceful, rich and independent Balochistan.”The group assured the Government of India that if support is provided, its fighter would open an additional front against the Pakistan Army near the Afghan border, an area where the Pakistani Taliban maintains strongholds.
