Afghan Khogani base destroyed in airstrikes
Pakistan’s armed forces have carried out a successful air operation in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province, destroying the Khogani base during Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq.
Security sources confided to the TV channel on Tuesday, both ground and aerial operations by Pakistani forces against the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij are continuing.
The Pakistan Army conducted an airstrike targeting the Khogani base in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province, which officials said had been used by militant elements.
Security sources stated that following unprovoked aggression, the Afghan Taliban and “Fitna al-Khawarij” groups are facing significant setbacks on multiple fronts. They maintained that Pakistani forces are responding decisively across all operational theatres.
Security sources further said that Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq remains underway and will continue until its stated objectives are achieved. The military campaign, they added, is aimed at eliminating militant infrastructure linked to cross-border hostilities.
The latest strike follows operations reported a day earlier, when Pakistan’s armed forces continued effective and decisive retaliatory actions against Afghan Taliban positions and destroyed an ammunition depot and a drone storage facility in Jalalabad.
The channel reported that those strikes were conducted under Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq and were directed at installations described by officials as belonging to “Fitna al-Khawarij” elements.
Sources said Pakistani forces are targeting hideouts and military facilities allegedly associated with militants involved in cross-border attacks.
