Islamabad, Pakistan – 27 February 2026 – The Pakistani government has reported significant developments in its ongoing counterterrorism operations along the border with Afghanistan. According to Information Minister Atta Tarar, Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq has resulted in the deaths of 331 Afghan Taliban fighters and injuries to more than 500 others.
The operation, conducted with precise intelligence and coordinated action by Pakistan’s Armed Forces, targeted militant strongholds responsible for repeated cross-border attacks and threats to civilian and military security within Pakistan. Officials emphasized that the strikes were carefully executed to neutralize terrorist networks while minimizing risks to civilians.
Minister Tarar highlighted the necessity of such operations in safeguarding Pakistan’s sovereignty and protecting communities along the border. “Our forces acted decisively against those who continually plan and execute attacks from across the Afghan border. This is a clear message that Pakistan will not tolerate threats to its citizens or its territorial integrity,” he stated.
Local sources and security analysts note that the operation reflects the professionalism and readiness of Pakistan’s military to respond to evolving security challenges. The action also underscores the government’s commitment to preventing the spread of terrorism and ensuring long-term stability in the region.
While the operation has delivered a strategic blow to the Afghan Taliban’s operational capabilities, authorities caution that sustained vigilance and regional cooperation remain essential to preventing further attacks. Pakistan continues to engage diplomatically with neighbors and international partners to address the underlying threats posed by cross-border militancy.
Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and the critical role of intelligence-led, precise military action in maintaining national security.
