The Pakistani information ministry announced on Thursday that the country had conducted "well-planned and calibrated" air strikes against terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan. The ministry stated that the strikes were part of Operation Ghazab lil Haq, and aimed to eliminate terrorists, their networks, and supporters. The attacks targeted the hideouts of terrorist organizations known as Fitna al Khwarij and Fitna al Hindustan, with multiple terrorists killed in the operation.
The destroyed facilities also contained large quantities of weapons and ammunition. Pakistan emphasized its commitment to regional peace and stability, while expressing concern over Afghanistan's role as a hub for terrorism. The ministry assured that the strikes were carried out with maximum precaution to avoid any collateral damage.
Pakistan's counter-terrorism campaign, Ghazab lil Haq, will continue at a full pace to eradicate the threat of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country. The Afghan Taliban's continued support for the banned TTP has contributed to an increase in terrorist attacks in Pakistan, according to a UN Security Council-mandated monitoring report.
Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been strained due to cross-border terrorism, with recent conflicts in September 2025.
