Chilling video: US ally’s troops captured by rebels, beg for rescue as BLA shows Pakistani soldiers

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has released a disturbing video allegedly showing captured Pakistani soldiers pleading for help, intensifying pressure on Islamabad amid rising regional tensions. The footage, dated February 20, features uniformed men displaying military identification cards and urging authorities to secure their release, with one soldier breaking down on camera. The BLA claims the captives were seized during “Operation Herof 2.0” and has demanded a prisoner swap, warning of “court sentences” if its deadline is ignored. Pakistan denies any soldiers are missing, even as insurgent attacks escalate across Balochistan and U.S.-Iran tensions fuel wider war fears.
