Chaman: Forces have destroyed several Afghan Taliban posts and vehicles in the Chaman sector of Balochistan, security sources said on Wednesday.
According to security sources, the operations are part of the ongoing “Operation Ghazab lil-Haq” and were carried out in response to what they described as unprovoked aggression by Afghan Taliban forces and terrorists along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border.
The sources stated that the Pakistan Army destroyed multiple Afghan Taliban posts and vehicles in the Chaman area “with precision”.
They added that the effective operations by the Pakistan Army forced the Afghan Taliban and the Fitna al Khawarij to retreat. The term Fitna al Khawarij is used by the state for militants belonging to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Security sources further said that the armed forces’ firm resolve to defend the country is ensuring the protection of Pakistan’s territorial integrity.
They also confirmed that operations will continue until all designated objectives are fully achieved.
Earlier, on Tuesday as well, security forces reportedly destroyed several Afghan Taliban posts in the Chaman sector, according to official sources.
On Sunday, security forces also targeted and destroyed gun positions of Afghan Taliban fighters in South Waziristan after they allegedly opened fire on civilians. According to security sources, that incident left three people, including two women, injured.
Officials say that due to a resurgence in militancy, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan where attacks frequently target security personnel and law enforcement agencies, counter-terrorism operations have been intensified.
Islamabad has repeatedly called on the Afghan Taliban to dismantle terrorist sanctuaries operating from Afghan soil, especially those linked to the banned TTP. However, officials claim these appeals have not been acted upon.
Meanwhile, Pakistan continues to conduct Operation Ghazab lil-Haq against Afghan Taliban elements and terrorist groups operating from across the border. The operation was launched on the night of February 26 following what were described as unprovoked cross-border attacks by the Afghan Taliban.
After a temporary pause on March 18 at the request of “brotherly Islamic countries,” Pakistan resumed the operation on March 26, stating that it would continue until all objectives are achieved.
