“The video shows a Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) leader issuing a warning to China and Pakistan after the 11 March 2025 Jaffar Express hijack.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video dates back to May 2019 and was released by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) after they attacked the Pearl Continental Hotel in Gwadar on 11 May 2019. The video was meant to justify the attack, claiming it targeted Chinese and Pakistani interests in Balochistan. The viral clip has been edited and falsely linked to the 2025 Jaffar Express hijack.
