Pakistan’s armed forces have launched a large-scale and coordinated counter-offensive against what officials describe as unprovoked aggression by the Afghan Taliban regime, destroying major military installations across Kabul, Kandahar, Paktia, Paktika and border sectors.
Security sources confirm heavy casualties and extensive infrastructure damage on the Afghan side, as air and ground operations continue.
According to security sources, 133 Afghan Taliban regime operatives have been confirmed dead, while more than 200 have been injured in the ongoing operations. Officials say casualties may rise as assessments continue.
Afghan Taliban defense targets in Kabul, Paktia and Kandahar were struck in coordinated strikes, with Pakistani forces maintaining pressure on multiple fronts.
Pakistan’s forces destroyed 27 Afghan Taliban posts and successfully captured nine posts during retaliatory action, and hoisted the national flag over them.
In the Wali Khan sector along the Pak-Afghan border, an Afghan post was demolished. At the Kharlachi terminal, several Taliban posts were reduced to rubble, while in South Waziristan, a Dawood post was effectively targeted and destroyed.
