ISLAMABAD: Pakistan air force targeted the Taliban’s military installations on Monday night, destroying the technical support infrastructure and ammunition storage at two locations in Kabul and Nangarhar. Security sources confirmed as Islamabad presses on with Operation Ghazab lil-Haq against cross-border terrorism.
The operation was launched on the night of February 26, following unprovoked firing by the Afghan Taliban from across the border.
Six Targets Destroyed in Kabul and Nangarhar
Security sources said that during the strikes on Monday night, Pakistani forces destroyed the technical support infrastructure and ammunition storage at two locations in Kabul.
In the Afghan province of Nangarhar, the sources said, Pakistani forces targeted Taliban’s military installations at four spots. Logistics, ammunition and technical infrastructure adjacent to these installations were also destroyed, the sources added.
According to security sources, a drone assembly workshop, “headquarters from where drones were sent” and weapon stocks were also destroyed in Nangarhar and Kabul. The drones were prepared at those workshops using parts made in India and Israel.

In updates shared around midnight, the sources said the Pakistan Air Force was continuing operations in Kabul and Nangarhar. Six targets had been successfully engaged, they added, with reports of several terrorists having been killed.
In one of the video clip, the flames rising due to secondary detonation after the airstrike confirm that it was a very large ammunition depot.
Security sources say Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid’s statement about targeting a drug hospital is ridiculous.
Pakistan Armed Forces also successfully targeted Taliban’s military installations at four locations while carrying out operation in Nangarhar.

Security sources say logistics, ammunition and technical infrastructure adjacent to military installations were also destroyed during airstrikes in Nangarhar.
Operations under Operation Ghazab lil-Haq will continue until the achievement of objectives.
Cross-border operations intensify
Earlier, the armed forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram sector targeted and destroyed important Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij hideouts, security sources said. Fitna al-Khawarij is the term the state uses to refer to the banned TTP.
“During these operations, several khawarij were killed while the rest managed to escape,” a security source said.
The armed forces also destroyed Afghan Taliban posts across the Pak-Afghan border in KP’s Bajaur sector using guided missiles.
