Detailed Report
The operations, part of the ongoing ‘Operation Ghazab lil-Haq’, were a response to the “unprovoked aggression” by Afghan Taliban forces and terrorists on the Pak-Afghan border, according to the sources.
Security sources said that the army destroyed several Afghan Taliban posts and vehicles in Chaman “with precision”.
“The Pakistan Army’s effective operations have forced the Afghan Taliban and the Fitna al Khawarij to retreat”.
Fitna al Khawarij is a term the state uses for terrorists belonging to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
“Security forces’ unwavering resolve to defend the homeland is ensuring the country’s territorial integrity,” sources added.
The sources also stated that the operations will continue until “all set targets are achieved”.
Security forces also destroyed multiple Afghan Taliban posts in the Chaman sector on Tuesday, according to security sources.
On Sunday, the forces destroyed the gun positions of Afghan Taliban involved in unprovoked firing at civilians in South Waziristan. Security sources said that the posts were destroyed after the Afghan Taliban fired at civilians and left three people, including two women, injured.
Due to a resurgence of militancy, especially in KP and Balochistan, where attacks often target security personnel and LEAs, the state has intensified counter-terrorism operations.
Islamabad has repeatedly urged the Afghan Taliban to dismantle terrorist sanctuaries on its soil, particularly those linked to the banned TTP. Officials say those appeals have gone unheeded.
Pakistan, meanwhile, is carrying out Operation Ghazab lil-Haq against the Afghan Taliban and terrorists operating from its soil. It was launched on the night of Feb 26, following unprovoked cross-border attacks by the Afghan Taliban.
After a temporary pause on March 18 at the request of “brotherly Islamic countries,” Pakistan had announced the operation’s resumption on March 26, saying it would continue “until its objectives are achieved”.
