Pakistan has launched strong ground and air operations in response to what officials described as unprovoked aggression by the Afghan Taliban.

Security sources say the actions are part of Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq and are aimed at neutralising militant threats operating from Afghan territory.

According to a report by The New York Times, Pakistan successfully targeted the strategic Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan. The report stated that the airstrike caused significant damage at the military facility.

Satellite images reviewed by the publication reportedly show that one aircraft hangar and two warehouses were destroyed in the strike. The report further claimed that Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defence confirmed that a Pakistani air attack had taken place.

The New York Times also reported that Pakistan has carried out more than 50 airstrikes on military targets inside Afghanistan over the past week. These operations were described as part of efforts to curb cross-border militancy.

The newspaper cited United Nations reports that have repeatedly highlighted the presence of militant groups, referred to by Pakistani authorities as Fitna al-Khawarij, operating from Afghan soil.

Defence analysts say the successful strike on Bagram Airbase has dealt a heavy blow to the Afghan Taliban regime. They believe the operation sends a clear message that Pakistan has the capability to act anywhere inside Afghanistan if its security is threatened.

Experts further stated that despite repeated warnings from Pakistan, cross-border attacks have continued. They also claimed that weapons left behind after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan have been used in attacks against Pakistan.

Officials say operations will continue until security threats are fully addressed.
