Pakistani Soldiers Crying Video Goes Viral After BLA Capture
Videos released by the Baloch Liberation Army claim Pakistani soldiers were captured during clashes in Balochistan, but the Pakistan Army has not officially confirmed the situation.
Recently, several videos have gone viral on social media showing Pakistani soldiers in captivity, appearing frightened and pleading for help. These videos were released by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), an armed group that is fighting to create an independent country called Balochistan by separating from Pakistan.
According to the BLA, the incident is linked to recent clashes between the group and the Pakistan Army in the region of Balochistan. On 14 February 2026, the BLA claimed that it had captured 17 Pakistani soldiers during operations in the area. The group stated that 10 soldiers were later released, while 7 were kept in custody. Pakistani authorities initially denied these claims and described them as false.
After this denial, the BLA released video recordings showing the captured soldiers. In one widely shared clip, soldiers can be seen crying and requesting the Pakistani Army to accept the BLA’s demands to secure their release. One soldier questioned why the army was denying their identity despite their official ID cards. Another shared his personal details and appealed for help, saying he was the eldest member of his family and his father is disabled.
The BLA demanded a prisoner exchange, asking Pakistan to release BLA members who have been in custody for several years. The group issued a seven-day deadline, around 21 or 22 February 2026, warning that the soldiers would be killed if the demand was not accepted. Despite this, Pakistani officials and media have not given any confirmed response, creating uncertainty about the situation.
Reports also claim that tensions in Balochistan have increased further, with allegations of violence against civilians. Some accounts state that multiple people, including children, have died in recent incidents. However, there is no clear official confirmation about these developments.
The situation highlights long-standing tensions in Balochistan, where concerns about economic neglect, lack of development, and poverty have been raised for many years. Pakistan is currently facing serious financial challenges, and reports suggest that millions of people in the country are living in extreme poverty, with many affected communities located in Balochistan.
For your Mumbai audience who follow ISH News and rely on clear, accessible information, this story is still developing, and official confirmation about the fate of the captured soldiers has not yet been released.
