Says 684 terrorists killed and more than 912 injured during Operation Ghazb-lil-Haq
Information Minister Ataullah Tarar said on Sunday that the armed forces carried out strikes overnight targeting terrorist hideouts in the Kandahar and Chitral sectors, destroying tunnels, technical infrastructure and equipment storage facilities used by the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij.
‘Operation Ghazab Lil Haq’ was launched almost two weeks ago following renewed clashes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border as Afghan Taliban forces fired at several locations, prompting swift military retaliation. The neighbors have clashed along the border since last week, when Afghanistan launched a border offensive in response to Pakistani airstrikes.
Sharing details of Operation Ghazb-lil-Haq on his official X account, Tarar said: “On the night of 14/15 March, Pakistan Armed Forces targeted military installations including terrorist hideouts of Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij.”

The minister added that 229 tanks, armored vehicles and artillery guns were destroyed and 73 terrorist locations and support infrastructure sites were effectively targeted across Afghanistan, primarily through airstrikes.
