Afghan Taliban casualties: 352 killed and over 535 injured, check posts destroyed: 130, with 26 posts captured by Pakistani forces, armored vehicles neutralized: 171 tanks and armored personnel carriers destroyed and effective operations conducted at 41 locations within Afghanistan.
The Information Minister emphasized that the operation continues as part of Pakistan’s counter-terrorism measures, aimed at eliminating militant strongholds and restoring stability in the affected regions.
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.
