In its latest statement, the Ministry of Information announced that the military campaign dubbed ‘Ghazb al-Lahq’ will continue in response to terrorism threats originating from Afghanistan. Reports indicate that 28 militants were killed in airstrikes at three locations along the border with Afghanistan.
The ministry also noted that significant quantities of weapons and ammunition stored in shelters have been destroyed during the operations, while Pakistani forces have implemented precautionary measures to protect civilians.
In response, Taliban officials have strongly condemned the recent bombings in Kunar and Paktika provinces, reporting an increase in civilian casualties as a result of these attacks. The Pakistani Ministry of Information has labeled Afghanistan as a ‘center of terrorism’ and claimed that the security issues facing Pakistan stem from Afghan territory.

Notably, in an air raid on the ‘Omide’ medical center in Kabul on 25th of Woot 1404, 269 civilians lost their lives, many of whom were patients at the facility.
In conclusion, the Pakistani Ministry of Information emphasized that the country remains steadfast in its relentless battle against terrorism, aiming to eradicate terrorist roots supported by foreign nations from Pakistani soil.
