Pakistan’s security forces continued ground and aerial operations against militants along the border with Afghanistan, with security sources claiming that key targets have been struck during the ongoing campaign on Monday.
The security sources confirmed that Pakistani forces have destroyed ammunition depots at Afghanistan’s Shaheen Base in Paktika as part of the ongoing military operation, Ghazab lil Haq.
The security sources said the military action is being carried out against militants referred to as Fitna-al-Khawarij as well as Afghan Taliban positions, adding that the operation, Ghazab-lil-Haq, will continue until its objectives are achieved.
Security sources further stated that Pakistani forces also targeted the Fitna-al-Hindustan-backed Afghan Taliban’s post located across the Afghan border adjacent to South Waziristan in the Shawal area.
The security sources also confirmed that the Pak Army’s forceful strike forced Afghan Taliban terrorists to flee their positions near the Pak-Afghan border area.
The post was later destroyed with explosives, the sources said, adding that the Pakistan Army continues to strike militant hideouts and military installations across the border.
Meanwhile, authorities also conducted large-scale combing and search operations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, targeting criminal elements and undocumented Afghan nationals.
Police carried out operations in areas falling under the jurisdictions of the Korral, Sumbal, Aabpara, Secretariat and Golra police stations. During the search operations, 43 suspicious individuals were arrested.
Officials said that 37 motorcycles and two vehicles were also taken into custody and shifted to different police stations for further investigation.
