Operation Ghazab lil-Haq

Pakistan has launched Operation Ghazab lil-Haq in response to what it described as unprovoked firing by the Afghan Taliban across the border. The Pakistan Air Force carried out airstrikes on military installations in Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia, with Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities acknowledging the strikes.

Political leaders, including President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and opposition PTI figures, have expressed unified support for the armed forces, vowing to defend territorial integrity. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif accused the Taliban of acting as a proxy to export terrorism. DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry is set to brief the media at 4pm.
