Tensions have once again escalated along the Pak-Afghan border following unprovoked firing and aggression by the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij, drawing a severe and effective response from the Pakistan Army, Aaj News reported citing security sources on Tuesday.

According to the security sources, Pakistan Army troops targeted Afghan Taliban defensive positions in the Chaman sector. These retaliatory strikes resulted in the destruction of several key Afghan Taliban checkposts.

The operation aims to restore law and order in the border regions and deter any form of external aggression.

A clear message was conveyed that Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq will continue until all designated objectives are achieved.
