The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has released a video announcing the activities of its naval branch for the first time.
The two-minute, 32-second footage depicts BLA fighters using advanced weapons to attack a Pakistani naval boat. The group claims the assault killed three Pakistani soldiers: two on the spot and the third after jumping into the water.
In the video, the BLA warns the Pakistani army that its operations now extend to the sea, targeting enemy facilities there. The militants state there will be no safe haven for Pakistani forces on land or water as long as a Baloch lives.
The release serves as a display of the group's expanding capabilities, threatening the Pakistani regime with intensified actions across domains.

Reliability assessment
Single source with direct attribution to BLA's own video release and message, providing concrete checkable details (video length, content description, specific casualties claimed). Verifiable fact is BLA's claim and video.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Hurriyat: "deadly attack" (title) uses dramatic language to frame the event; "killing two on the spot" and "hitting the third who had jumped into the water" employ vivid, graphic descriptions of violence that add emotional intensity beyond neutral reporting.
