ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Armed Forces successfully conducted precision airstrikes on the night of March 16, targeting Afghan Taliban military installations in Kabul and Nangarhar. The strikes were carried out as part of Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, aimed at dismantling the Taliban regime’s terrorism-supporting infrastructure.
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah in a statement, informed that Pakistan’s military forces conducted airstrikes against critical targets in Kabul which resulted in the destruction of technical support systems and ammunition storage facilities at two different locations. The airstrikes produced secondary detonations which revealed the existence of large ammunition depots that showed the Taliban operated military activities on a massive scale.

The operation continued in Nangarhar which Pakistan’s Armed Forces successfully attacked four additional Taliban military sites that had operated as terrorist support bases. The strikes destroyed essential logistics facilities and ammunition storage sites and technical infrastructure, which further reduced the Taliban regime’s capacity to execute military operations.
“These precision airstrikes were carried out on Taliban infrastructure used to support various terror proxies, including Fitna Al Khawarij and Fitna Al Hindustan,” the statement noted. “The military only targeted those locations that were actively engaged in sponsoring terrorism, and the claims made by the Taliban’s propagandists are a feeble attempt to distract the Afghan people and the international community from their ongoing support of terrorism.”
Pakistan continues to protect its people from terrorist attacks which are conducted by groups that support the Taliban government. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting confirmed that the operations under Operation Ghazab Lil Haq will continue until the objectives are fully achieved, ensuring that terrorist networks which endanger regional peace and security will be completely eliminated.
The Pakistani government executed these actions with complete accuracy because they wanted to prevent civilian deaths while they focused on stopping terrorist funding operations and logistics operations. The ongoing operation aims to dismantle the Taliban’s network and restore peace and security in the region.
The airstrikes serve as a military response to counter the increasing terrorist operations which the Afghan Taliban has been conducting to disrupt regional stability. Pakistan maintains its right to protect its people from danger while it plans to implement strong measures against terrorism.
The international community must acknowledge Pakistan’s efforts to maintain regional stability while it demands justice against those who support terrorism during the ongoing operation.
