US EditionPakistan-Afghanistan War Live Updates: Pakistan Says 274 Taliban Fighters Killed in Air Strikes on 22 Afghanistan Military Targets
Pakistan's Operation Ghazab lil-Haq targets Taliban positions with airstrikes, killing 133 militants and injuring over 200, amid escalating border clashes and mutual retaliation claims.
- On February 27, 2026, Pakistan bombed military targets in Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia under Operation Ghazab lil-Haq after the Taliban opened fire on border positions, officials said.
- Border exchanges began when Afghan forces opened fire in Pakistan's mountainous northwest, sparking more than two hours of fighting before the Afghan Taliban regime launched a `large-scale operation` along the Durand Line.
- Pakistan's military said at least 274 Taliban regime personnel were killed, more than 400 injured, and over 74 posts, 18 checkposts, 115 tanks, and 22 hideouts destroyed.
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he is closely monitoring tensions and urged both nations to follow international humanitarian law, while Afghan officials claimed they shot down a Pakistani aircraft and killed 55 soldiers, which Pakistan denied.
- Analysts say the strikes risk broader escalation hitting major Afghan cities and threatening a fragile ceasefire along the 2,600-km border as China, Iran and Malaysia urged de-escalation while Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan, directs continued operations.
