Says 684 terrorists killed and more than 912 injured during Operation Ghazb-lil-Haq
Information Minister Ataullah Tarar said on Sunday that the armed forces conducted overnight strikes targeting terrorist hideouts in Kandahar and the Chitral sector, destroying tunnels, technical infrastructure, and equipment storage facilities used by the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij.
‘Operation Ghazab Lil Haq’ was launched almost two weeks ago after renewed clashes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, when Afghan Taliban forces fired on multiple locations, prompting swift military retaliation. The neighbours have clashed along the frontier since last week, when Afghanistan launched a border offensive in response to Pakistani air strikes.
Sharing details of Operation Ghazb-lil-Haq on his official X account, Tarar said: “On night of March 14/15 Pakistan Armed Forces targeted military installations including terrorist hideouts of Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij.”

He added that the attacks destroyed technical support infrastructure and equipment storage facilities in Kandahar, which were being used by the Afghan Taliban and other terrorist groups against Pakistani civilians.
“A tunnel that housed technical equipment of Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij was also destroyed in Kandahar,” Tarar said.
He further stated that in the Chitral sector, a terrorist jump-off point at Badini Post in Afghanistan was destroyed through ground forces.
Tarar also provided a detailed summary of losses inflicted on the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij.
According to Tarar, the operations resulted in 684 terrorists killed and more than 912 injured. He said 252 posts were destroyed and 44 posts captured and demolished by Pakistani forces.
The minister added that 229 tanks, armoured vehicles, and artillery guns were destroyed, and 73 terrorist locations and support infrastructure sites were effectively targeted across Afghanistan, primarily through air strikes.
Tarar shared a video claiming it showed precision engagement on installations and terrorist camps that directly or indirectly support terrorism from Afghan soil.
“No civilian population or infrastructure was targeted as falsely propagated by Afghan regime officials and media,” he added.
