Operation Herof 2.0 is a series of ongoing coordinated attacks launched by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) against Pakistani military and intelligence installations in Balochistan starting from 2 May 2025.
The operation follows the August 2024 Balochistan attacks, designated by the BLA as Operation Herof, and represents a significant escalation in the ongoing Baloch insurgency. The BLA has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks on Pakistani military personnel and intelligence agents, as well as civilians during this period.[56]

The BLA has been involved in several high-profile attacks in Balochistan, especially in response to Pakistani military operations.
The escalation of violence in 2024–2025, including attacks on military convoys, intelligence agents, and government installations, marked a significant rise in the conflict's intensity. Operation Herof 2.0 came as part of the BLA and its allies’ struggle for the province of Balochistan’s independence.
