Operation Ghazb lil Haq was initiated after what officials described as an unprovoked cross-border assault by the Taliban.
Authorities said the operation is still underway and aims to dismantle terrorist infrastructure that threatens Pakistan’s national security.
Relations between Islamabad and Kabul have been tense since the Afghan Taliban took power in August 2021.
Pakistan has seen a recent surge in terrorist attacks by the groups based in Afghanistan.
Pakistani officials have repeatedly accused Afghanistan’s Taliban regime of providing safe haven to senior figures of the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claiming the group uses Afghan soil to orchestrate and carry out cross-border attacks.
The United Nations has also highlighted reported links between the TTP and Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities in past assessments.
Islamabad maintains that lasting peace in the region hinges on concrete steps to eliminate terrorist sanctuaries and prevent terrorist groups based in Afghanistan from staging attacks across the border.
