ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar has shared an update on the ongoing Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq, outlining heavy losses inflicted on Afghan Taliban forces.

In a post on X on March 6, the minister provided a summary of the reported damages suffered by Afghan Taliban militants during the operation.

According to the figures shared, 527 Afghan Taliban fighters were killed, while more than 755 others were injured during the clashes.

The statement further said that 237 check posts were destroyed, while 38 additional posts were captured and later demolished by Pakistani forces.

In addition, the operation reportedly resulted in the destruction of 205 tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery pieces belonging to Afghan Taliban forces.

The minister also claimed that 62 locations inside Afghanistan were effectively targeted in aerial strikes as part of the military campaign.

Earlier, security forces have launched effective and decisive operations against what officials described as unprovoked aggression by Afghan Taliban militants along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border, security sources said.

According to sources, the Pakistan Army carried out a strong response under Operation Ghazab-Lil-Haq, targeting militant hideouts near the Zhob Sector and Qila Saifullah Sector along the border.

During the operation, security forces destroyed several terrorist hideouts located in areas adjacent to the two sectors, significantly weakening militant positions.

Security officials said the intense and well-coordinated action forced Afghan Taliban fighters to abandon their posts and flee the area.

Sources further stated that due to the Pakistan Army’s effective strategy and strong retaliation, both Afghan Taliban elements and members of Fitna-al-Khawarij suffered heavy losses and were pushed back from their positions.
