Baloch Republican Army (Urdu: بلوچ ریپبلکن آرمی) is a Baloch ethno-nationalist armed separatist group that seeks an independent homeland for the Baloch people, based in Balochistan. The organization was formed in 2006, and since then has been involved in militant activities against the Pakistan Army. The Baloch Republican Army conducts conventional and unconventional battles against the Pakistani Army and mostly operates through guerrilla tactics such as ambush, sabotage and hit and run activities.

The primary targets of the Baloch Republican Army are the Security Forces of Pakistan and their installations including various headquarters, check-posts and outposts, convoys, offices and personnel; state machinery and infrastructure like railway lines, communication system, gas pipelines, wells and plants, electricity pylons and any other system.

Baloch Republican Army rejects foreign investment in Balochistan whether by Pakistani or any other country through multinational companies, even those close to the Pakistani government.[citation needed] The B.R.A does not allow Pakistani foreign and Pakistani companies to use the natural resources of Balochistan without the consent of Baloch people. It has launched multiple attacks against Pakistani forces, local and foreign companies busy in plunder of Baloch resources and state machinery and installations. Many of its fighters train in guerrilla camps in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan and also have a large number of fighters in the urban areas who carry out attacks on the targets like vehicles of Pakistani forces, innocent civilians and convoys of international companies such as USAID, UN aid agencies and other NGO's. In recent years, the extremist activities of this organization have been undermined by ongoing Pakistani operations against their activities along the frontier with Afghanistan.
