Pakistan’s armed forces continued decisive retaliatory operations under Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq, with the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) targeting Afghan Taliban positions in Afghanistan’s Laghman province, security sources said on Friday.
The operation was launched in response to unprovoked aggression by the Afghan Taliban regime along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
According to security sources, precision strikes destroyed an arms depot in Laghman, while the Afghan Border Force (ABF) battalion headquarters and the Nangarhar Brigade were completely neutralised during the operation.
Sources said Afghan forces suffered heavy losses as Pakistani armed forces delivered a strong and effective response to cross-border hostilities.
Security sources said Pakistani forces also destroyed an Afghan checkpost near the Mohmand sector as part of continued retaliatory actions against cross-border aggression.
Officials added that Pakistan’s armed forces remain determined to respond effectively to threats against national security, stressing that operations are being conducted in accordance with international law and are limited strictly to Afghan military targets.
Sources maintained that Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq remains ongoing and will continue until all operational objectives are achieved.
They reiterated that Pakistan’s armed forces stand united “like a steel wall” in defence of the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, adding that retaliatory actions are aimed at neutralising hostile capabilities posing threats along the border regions.
Earlier, air strikes inside Afghanistan, destroyed a major ammunition depot in Nangarhar.
The sources said the Pakistan Air Force targeted and destroyed a large ammunition depot, while operations against militant hideouts continue in border areas.
They added that multiple Afghan Taliban fighters were killed and several defensive positions were eliminated.
According to security officials, further air strikes are underway in Nangarhar.
The action was in response to unprovoked aggression by the Afghan Taliban.
On the ground, the Pakistan Army is conducting effective operations along the border.
