Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari have issued strong statements reaffirming Pakistan’s resolve to defend its sovereignty, territory, and people in the wake of intensified cross-border confrontations with Afghan Taliban forces.
The remarks from the country’s top leadership come after the armed forces launched Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq after the Taliban regime’s unprovoked action along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border. Security sources said Pakistan’s armed forces destroyed several key Afghan Taliban posts. Following Pakistan’s decisive action, Afghan Taliban reportedly raised white flags at multiple positions.
The sources added that security forces effectively targeted Afghan Taliban positions using artillery and quadcopters, significantly weakening their defensive capabilities.
