Pakistan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said on Thursday that well‑planned aerial strikes on two Afghan locations killed 22 terrorists and destroyed large caches of weapons.
The operation, part of Operation Ghazab lil Haq, targeted camps linked to Fitna al Khwarij, Fitna al Hindustan and their affiliates, according to a ministry statement. The ministry added that the strikes were carried out with precision and that maximum precautions were taken to avoid collateral damage.
In the same period, security forces conducted intelligence‑based operations (IBOs) in Pakistan. Radio Pakistan reported that forces destroyed hideouts and tunnels used by Khawarij in North Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and killed several terrorists. Another IBO in the Sanni area of Kachhi district, Balochistan, reportedly eliminated six Fitna al Hindustan militants using quadcopters, with a large quantity of arms recovered.
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the operations, saying the forces demonstrated professionalism and commitment in counter‑terrorism efforts.
