Heavy weaponry used in cross-border crackdown as security forces vow sustained action against militant networks
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army has escalated its counterterrorism campaign under Operation Ghazab-Lil-Haq, striking nearly 50 militant hideouts along the volatile Pak-Afghan border, security sources said Tuesday.
The coordinated assaults targeted strongholds allegedly linked to the Afghan Taliban, Fitna al-Khawarij, and Fitna al-Hindustan. Key sectors included Qila Saifullah, Chaman, Sambaza, Ghadwana, Jani, and Ghazni.
Heavy weaponry was deployed during night raids conducted between March 3 and 4. A senior security official said the locations had been used as operational bases for cross-border terrorism.
“These areas posed a direct threat to Pakistan’s security. The strikes have inflicted significant casualties and material losses,” the official said, adding that militant networks were severely disrupted.
Security authorities reaffirmed their resolve to defend national sovereignty and protect civilians from militant violence. Officials confirmed that Operation Ghazab-Lil-Haq will continue until all strategic objectives are achieved, signaling a sustained and coordinated push to dismantle militant infrastructure along the border belt.
