Separatist fighters of the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) released footage from a Feb. 4, 2023 improvised explosive device (IED) attack against a Pakistani military convoy in the vicinity of Sirajabad, in the Bolan Pass. The militants reported that they killed six government troops and injured an additional two.

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.
