According to the sources, armed forces carried out precise strikes in the Chaman area, targeting and destroying several Afghan Taliban posts and vehicles. They said the effective response forced Afghan Taliban fighters and affiliated terrorists to retreat from their positions.
They added that the ongoing military action reflects the unwavering resolve of the armed forces to defend the country’s territorial integrity and ensure border security.
“The operation Ghazab al-Haq will continue until all designated objectives are achieved,” security sources said, and maintained that Pakistan’s security forces remain fully prepared and committed to responding to any cross-border aggression with force.
The incident marked a renewed episode of cross-border aggression after a gap of over a month, following Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, launched in response to earlier unprovoked hostility from the Afghan side.
Operation Ghazab Lil Haq was launched around the end of February following renewed clashes along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border, after Afghan Taliban forces fired on multiple locations, prompting swift military retaliation by Pakistan.
The neighbouring countries were engaged in escalating hostilities along the frontier since then. The clashes intensified after Afghanistan launched a border offensive in response to Pakistani air strikes targeting terrorist positions and abated during a temporary ceasefire on the occasion of Eidul Fitr.
