In response to alleged unprovoked cross-border aggression by the Afghan Taliban along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier, Pakistan’s armed forces have escalated their decisive counteroffensive under “Operation Ghazab-Lil-Haq.”
Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar provided an update on the ongoing operation, reporting that 331 Taliban militants have been neutralized, over 500 injured, 104 enemy check posts destroyed, and 22 captured.
Minister Tarar further stated that 163 armored vehicles and military assets were destroyed, while 37 strategic locations were precision-targeted in coordinated aerial and ground strikes.
Security sources confirmed that operations are being conducted simultaneously on multiple fronts, with a focus on strategic objectives, and will continue until complete neutralization of hostile elements.
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) carried out surgical strikes on brigade and battalion headquarters of the Afghan Taliban in Nangarhar province, ensuring that only military targets were engaged in strict compliance with international humanitarian law. Skirmishes have also been reported in the Zoiaba sector, highlighting continued ground confrontations.
In recent maneuvers, the Pakistani military obliterated the Afghan Gulf Post, targeted a hostile vehicle near the South Complex, and captured and demolished the New Afghan 8 post using explosives, forcing militant elements into retreat. Dozens of Taliban hideouts were systematically dismantled during the campaign.
Security officials emphasized that Pakistan’s armed forces remain fully vigilant on all fronts, ensuring the protection of national sovereignty and border integrity while closely monitoring evolving threats.
