BLA (Baloch Liberation Army) attacks on Pakistan refer to violent insurgent actions carried out by the Baloch separatist group, which seeks greater autonomy or independence for the Balochistan region, a province divided between Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. The BLA is one of the most prominent militant groups advocating for the rights of Baloch people, who they claim face discrimination and exploitation by the central governments of these countries.

### Key Aspects of BLA Attacks on Pakistan:
1. **Motivations**:
- **Autonomy/Independence**: The BLA's main goal is to achieve independence for Balochistan or at least greater political and economic autonomy from Pakistan. They claim that Balochistan is being exploited for its natural resources (such as gas, oil, and minerals) without sufficient benefit to the local population.
- **Human Rights**: The BLA and other Baloch groups assert that the Baloch people face political, cultural, and economic marginalization within Pakistan, and their rights are violated by the central government.

2. **Tactics**:
- **Guerrilla Warfare**: The BLA often engages in guerrilla-style warfare, carrying out ambushes, bombings, and attacks on security forces, infrastructure, and government installations. They are known to target military bases, paramilitary forces, and police.
- **Bomb Attacks and Assassinations**: The group has been involved in planting roadside bombs and carrying out suicide bombings, as well as targeted killings of Pakistani security personnel and officials.
- **Attacks on Civilians**: While the BLA claims to focus on military targets, civilian casualties often occur, particularly in areas where insurgents clash with Pakistani forces.

3. **Notable Attacks**:
- **Attacks on Chinese Interests**: In recent years, the BLA has carried out attacks against Chinese nationals and infrastructure, particularly related to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a major infrastructure project. They view CPEC as a symbol of Pakistan's exploitation of Baloch resources for the benefit of China and the central government.
- **Karachi Attacks**: The BLA has been linked to high-profile attacks in urban areas like Karachi, including targeting ethnic Punjabis and members of the Pakistani military and intelligence agencies.
- **Gwadar Port and Infrastructure**: As part of the ongoing conflict, the BLA has targeted various infrastructure projects in Balochistan, including the strategic Gwadar port, which is part of the CPEC initiative.

4. **Pakistan’s Response**:
- **Military Operations**: In response to BLA insurgency, the Pakistani military has launched several military operations in Balochistan, involving airstrikes, ground operations, and the deployment of security forces.
- **Accusations of Human Rights Violations**: There have been numerous reports from international organizations accusing Pakistan's military and intelligence agencies of committing human rights abuses in Balochistan, including enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and torture, which further fuels resentment among the Baloch population.

5. **International Dimensions**:
- **Regional Support**: The BLA has allegedly received support from India and other external actors who are critical of Pakistan's policies in Balochistan, though Pakistan claims that these foreign powers are fueling the insurgency.
