Pakistan’s armed forces have carried out a series of cross-border airstrikes inside Afghanistan under Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq, targeting militant camps and infrastructure associated with the Afghan Taliban and groups described by authorities as Fitna al-Khawarij. The strikes were conducted during the night between the 12th and 13th of March, when Pakistani forces launched successful aerial operations against five militant hideouts, including military installations.

Security sources said the airstrikes destroyed the Sherinaw terrorist camp located in Paktia Province, infrastructure belonging to the 313 Corps in Kabul, and the Tarawo militant camps in Kandahar. An oil storage facility at an airfield and nearby logistics infrastructure were also destroyed in the strikes. Security officials said the operation was part of an ongoing campaign against militant networks and that actions under Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq would continue until the stated objectives were achieved.

Yesterday, Pakistan’s armed forces had carried out strikes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Pakistani troops targeted militant posts adjacent to the Tull Sector, resulting in the destruction of several positions. On March 10, Pakistani forces also launched operations in the Arandu and Kurram sectors, destroying key militant posts and operational centres. Officials said militants abandoned their positions and fled during those strikes.

Earlier, on March 6, security forces had conducted ground and aerial operations against Afghan Taliban elements and militants described as Fitna al-Khawarij in the Kurram sector along the Pak-Afghan border. Security sources maintained that the military operations were aimed at eliminating militant infrastructure and preventing cross-border attacks.
