The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) reportedly released a video purportedly showing Pakistani Army personnel in its custody, as a self-declared deadline for a proposed prisoner exchange continues to run.
In the footage circulated on social media, shared by region's independent online news portal Balochistan Post, citing the group’s official channel Hakkal, several men appear on camera displaying what they say are official service cards and national identity documents. The individuals, identified by the BLA as detained servicemen, are heard appealing to Pakistani authorities. They claim that they were formally recruited, issued official documentation, and assigned postings, while questioning why authorities are allegedly refusing to acknowledge them.
