Pakistan armed forces, under Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, continue to give an effective, immediate and brutal response to Afghan Taliban’s unprovoked aggression on Pak-Afghan border.

Briefing media in Rawalpindi today, Director General ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Pakistan, on the basis of intelligence reports, very carefully targeted training camps of Fitna al-Khawarij, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border on 21 and 22 of this month.

He said the Afghan Taliban regime, which is the master proxy of all terrorist proxies, came into action last night and opened unprovoked fire and conducted physical raids in fifteen sectors on 53 locations along the Pak-Afghan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said the aggression was done by the master proxy in coordination and collusion of TTP. He said they came with quad copters, armed quad copters, heavy and light weapons.

The Director General said Pakistan responded in a befitting manner and not only repulsed all those actions but successfully took down their quad copters and drones.

Giving further detail of Pakistan’s response, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Operation Ghazab lil-Haq is continuing under the direction of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He said so far, 274 personnel of the Afghan Taliban regime have been sent to the hell and over 400 others are injured.

He added that 73 posts of the Afghan Taliban regime have been completely destroyed while 18 posts have been captured. Other than that 115 tanks and armoured vehicles have been destroyed. Besides, headquarters, military facilities and installations, from where Fitna al-Khawarij and Fitna al-Hidustan get support, were targeted.

He further updated that aerial strikes were also conducted by Pakistan at 22 locations in Kandahar, Paktia, Nangarhar, Khost and Paktika. All these targets were very carefully selected based on intelligence. Those were military targets and extra care was exercised so that there is no civilian collateral damage. These targets include corps, brigade, battalion, and sector headquarters, ammunition depots, logistic basis of the Afghan Taliban regime, along with the sanctuaries, offering protection and support to the terrorists and their abettors.

The Director General ISPR further said during these strikes, Afghan Taliban forces and accompanying Khawarij fled from several locations and left behind the bodies of their dead. He said those dead bodies have been respectfully preserved as per Geneva protocol.
