Major Counter-Terror Operation
Pakistan’s security forces conducted a large-scale counter-terror operation, codenamed Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq, targeting Afghan Taliban elements involved in cross-border aggression. According to Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar, the operation has resulted in 331 Taliban personnel killed and over 500 injured, reflecting the decisive capability and preparedness of Pakistan’s armed forces.
Strategic Rationale
The operation comes in response to repeated unprovoked attacks along Pakistan’s eastern border. Authorities emphasize that it is a defensive measure aimed at protecting national sovereignty, civilian populations, and security infrastructure. It underscores Pakistan’s commitment to eliminating militant sanctuaries operating from Afghan soil.
Operational Success
Security officials report that the operation was carefully planned and executed using precision strikes to neutralize leadership targets while minimizing collateral damage. Cross-border intelligence coordination and real-time surveillance played a critical role in achieving operational objectives.
Broader Implications
Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq demonstrates Pakistan’s determination to counter terrorism proactively and maintain border security. Analysts highlight that sustained counter-terror measures are essential to regional stability, the prevention of militant regrouping, and the protection of innocent lives in border communities.
