Pakistani Troops Destroy Afghan Taliban Posts Amid Rising Tensions

Security sources said the operations were part of Operation Ghazab lil-Haq and were launched after Afghan Taliban fire killed one civilian and wounded two others.

  • On Wednesday, Pakistani security forces destroyed several Afghan Taliban posts and vehicles in Balochistan's Chaman sector, responding to what officials described as "unprovoked aggression" from the border region.
  • These strikes are part of "Operation Ghazab lil-Haq," an ongoing military campaign launched in February against militant groups operating along the Pak-Afghan border following persistent cross-border attacks.
  • Operations intensified after Afghan Taliban fire injured three civilians, including two women; forces also struck Pakistani Taliban hideouts near Chaman town to neutralize threats.
  • Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi stated that Pakistani forces thwarted "malicious intentions" through timely action, emphasizing a "befitting response" to defend the country's territorial integrity.
  • While officials met in China in early April to explore a "comprehensive solution," Islamabad's repeated appeals for Afghanistan to dismantle sanctuaries for the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan remain unheeded.
