The Baloch Republican Army (BRA) (Urdu: بلوچ ریپبلکن آرمی) was an armed militant group in Balochistan, Pakistan. [4] In September 2010, the Government of Pakistan banned the Baloch Republican Army.[5]

Brahumdagh Bugti was the head of BRA, until its merger with United Baloch Army (UBA). In 2017 Bugti's asylum request was rejected by Swiss authorities. The Swiss authorities said that Bugti's asylum request was rejected because he was involved in terror-related activities.[6][7]

In January 2022, BRA merged with UBA, to form Baloch Nationalist Army (BNA).[8][9] BRA and UBA also announced their dissolution following the establishment of Baloch Nationalist Army.[10]
