Pakistan carried out a strong retaliatory operation along the Pak-Afghanistan border, killing more than 80 terrorists, according to security sources. The airstrikes targeted militant camps linked to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and its allied group, Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP).
The operation was launched after recent suicide attacks in Islamabad, Bajaur, and Bannu. Officials said the strikes were aimed at groups responsible for these deadly incidents. The action shows Pakistan’s firm commitment to protecting its national security.
According to security sources, seven terrorist camps and hideouts were destroyed during the air operation. These locations were reportedly being used as training centers and safe havens for militants operating against Pakistan.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting confirmed the operation through a statement shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. The ministry said the strikes targeted hideouts of what the state calls “Fitna al-Khawarij,” a term used for the banned TTP and its affiliates, including ISKP.
Officials described the operation as precise and well-planned. They added that intelligence reports had identified the locations before the strikes were carried out.
Authorities stated that Pakistan will continue to take strict action against militant groups threatening peace and stability. Security forces remain on high alert to prevent any further attacks.
The latest operation highlights the government’s resolve to eliminate terrorism and ensure the safety of its citizens.
