13 July, 2026
Balochistan has declared its independence, adopted its national anthem, “"Ma Chukain Balochani," introduced its national flag, established its own currency the “Balochi Falus”and now exercises control over 85% of the territory of Balochistan.
These developments make Balochistan deserving of international recognition. We now control the republic's gold and copper mines, more than 150 active gas fields, and over 1,200 operational coal mines across the Republic of Balochistan.
Today, we are administering the State of Balochistan through our own security and defense forces. We may not possess fighter jets, attack helicopters, tanks, missiles, or heavy artillery, but we control our land. A force of 500,000 personnel comprising the Balochistan military, navy, air force, and civil administration stands ready to overthrow the occupying forces of Pakistan end of 2026.
The patriotic people of the Republic of Balochistan have rejected Pakistan's external presence. At the same time, there has been a growing wave of resignations by Baloch, joined by Pashtuns, from the Pakistan Army, Police, Frontier Corps, and Levies. This sends a clear message to the world: Balochistan is your neighboring country. We assure our immediate neighbors that we will not allow the Pakistani military,navy and air force to exploit our land, airspace, or coastline to destabilize the region.
The time has come for the free world to recognize the independence of the Republic of Balochistan and help open a new chapter of regional stability bringing an end to decades of Pakistan’s hostility, nuclear blackmail, and extremism against our nieghboring countries. @miryar_baloch
The Ministry of Defence UAE announces that the national tankers Mombasa and Al Bahiyah were targeted by two Iranian cruise missiles while transiting the southern shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz, within Omani territorial waters.
The attack resulted in the death of one Indian crew member aboard the Mombasa tanker and the injury of eight others, including four who sustained serious injuries. The injured comprise six Indian nationals and two Ukrainian nationals. The attack also caused material damage to both tankers as a result of the fires that broke out on board, which have since been brought under control.
The Ministry of Defence condemned this blatant attack, which is considered a serious violation and a clear breach of international law that threatens the security and stability of the region. The UAE reserves its full right to respond to this escalation and to take all necessary measures to protect its territory, its citizens and residents, in a manner that safeguards its sovereignty, security, and stability, and protects its national interests.
The Ministry further affirmed that it remains on the highest level of readiness and preparedness to address any threats, and that it is taking all necessary measures to respond decisively to any attempt to undermine the security and stability of the country.
The Ministry urged the public to obtain information from official sources and to refrain from circulating rumors or unverified information.
