The tumultuous weekend since last Friday night saw Baloch insurgents shaking Pakistan with their strikes. Across 12 regions in Balochistan, targeted attacks on security personnel, police, and civilian infrastructure led to the tragic deaths of at least 17 security officers and 50 civilians. The Balochistan Liberation Army, advocating for Balochistan's freedom, has claimed responsibility for these attacks, releasing images of many of its suicide bombers, with several women revealed among the weekend attackers.
The BLA has now released photos of two Majid Brigade suicide attackers, a husband and wife duo. In the image, female fighter Yasmin Baloch, also known as Zarina, is seen on the front line with her husband Waseem Baloch. This image is reportedly related to the Pasni attack.
Yasmin Baloch was born in 1997 and joined the BLA in 2022. Her husband, Waseem Baloch, born in 1992, became a part of the BLA in 2014. They are said to reside in the Alandur area of Buleida.
In a statement, the BLA noted, 'Before taking a final stand, they shared a married life together.'

BLA Previously Released Images of Two Female Suicide Attackers
Previously, the BLA had also released images of two female suicide attackers. Among them, one was identified as 24-year-old Asifa Mengal. Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif acknowledged that female rebels were involved in at least two of these attacks.
According to the BLA's statement, Asifa Mengal joined the BLA's Majid Brigade on her 21st birthday. The organization asserts that she decided to become a suicide bomber in January 2024 and was the attacker targeting the ISI headquarters in Nushki on Saturday.
Shortly after, a BLA female fighter's video went viral on social media. Cautiously advancing near a Pakistani security building, she is seen firing multiple rounds. Heavily armed, this woman mocks the Pakistani government alongside her male companions, claiming the government is failing against the BLA.
