Operation Ghazab Lil Haq will continue until the designated targets are fully achieved, security sources said
Security forces foiled another infiltration attempt by terrorists near the village of Sadaq in North Waziristan as part of the ongoing Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, security sources said on Friday.
According to security sources, militants identified as members of the Afghan Taliban and “Fitna al-Khawarij” tried to cross into Pakistani territory near the village of Sadaq. However, Pakistan Army troops responded quickly and effectively and prevented the infiltration.
Sources said the timely action of the security forces forced the militants to retreat after what they described as “unprovoked aggression”, adding that the attackers faced stiff resistance on several fronts.
They added that security forces remain vigilant and committed to preventing cross-border infiltration and ensuring stability in the region.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s armed forces carried out successful airstrikes on the night of March 12-13, targeting terrorist hideouts and facilities across the border with Afghanistan.
Security sources said the strikes effectively destroyed the Tarawo terror camp in Kandahar. Another facility, the Sherinaw camp in Afghanistan’s Paktia province, was also targeted during the operation.
Security officials said a video of the successful airstrikes has also been released.
They added that operations under Operation Ghazab Lil Haq will continue until the designated targets are fully achieved, with security forces remaining vigilant against cross-border militant activity.
During the Pak-Afghan conflict, Pakistan named the latest military action Operation Ghazab Lil Haq. The term is understood to mean “Anger for the truth” or “Anger for the sake of justice”, reflecting what officials describe as a forceful response to aggression.
On Wednesday, at least 641 Afghan Taliban activists were killed and more than 855 wounded during the ongoing operation Ghazab lil Haq, launched in response to what Islamabad described as “unprovoked action” from across the Afghan border, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said.
The operation was launched last month following renewed clashes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border after Afghan Taliban forces fired at several locations, prompting a swift response from Pakistan.
In an update shared on his official X account, Tarar said security forces had inflicted heavy casualties on terrorist positions across the border during the operation.
According to the minister, 243 checkpoints used by Afghan Taliban operatives have been destroyed so far, while another 42 were captured and subsequently destroyed by Pakistani forces.
A total of 219 tanks, armored vehicles and artillery guns were destroyed during the operation, Tarar added.
He further stated that Pakistani forces were conducting air operations targeting several terrorist sites in Afghanistan.
“Sixty-five locations in Afghanistan were effectively targeted by air,” Tarar said.
