Operation Ghazb-lil-Haq: 583 Afghan Taliban killed, over 795 injured, says Tarar
- 213 tanks, armoured vehicles, and artillery guns destroyed
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Sunday released a significant operational update regarding ‘Operation Ghazb-lil-Haq’, detailing extensive casualties and material damage sustained by the Afghan Taliban.
In a post on social media platform X, the information minister apprised that the ongoing operation has resulted in the killing of 583 Afghan Taliban personnel, while more than 795 others have been reported injured so far since inception of the operation.
Military strikes have successfully destroyed 242 check posts and led to the capture of an additional 38 posts, he said.
The minister’s report also detailed the destruction of heavy military hardware, including 213 tanks, armoured vehicles, and artillery guns. These tactical gains were bolstered by precision aerial engagements, with the minister confirming that 64 locations across Afghanistan were effectively targeted by air strikes.

The disclosure of these figures marks a decisive phase in Operation Ghazb-lil-Haq. The destruction of such a vast array of equipment and the neutralisation of check posts suggest a focused effort to dismantle the operational capabilities of the Afghan Taliban in the targeted regions.
International community has expressed increasing concern about the conflict and called for urgent talks.
Amid clashes with Taliban forces, Pakistan’s strikes on February 27 hit Taliban military installations and posts, including in Kabul and Kandahar, in one of the deepest Pakistani incursions into its western neighbour in years, officials said.
Islamabad accuses the Taliban of harbouring Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists, who it claims are waging terrorism inside Pakistan, a charge the Taliban denies. Pakistan described its actions as a response to cross-border assaults, while Kabul denounced them as a breach of its sovereignty, saying it remained open to dialogue but warned any wider conflict would result in serious consequences. The fighting has raised the risk of a protracted conflict along the rugged 2,600-km (1,615-mile) frontier.
