Pakistan has struck verified camps of Kharji Gul Bahadur group in border areas of North and South Waziristan districts along Pak-Afghan border.
In a post on his X handle, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said that during forty eight hours-long ceasefire, Kharjis operating from Afghanistan, attempted to launch multiple terrorists attacks inside Pakistan which were effectively countered by security forces. During the effective responses by security forces, more than one hundred Kharjis were sent to hell.
The Information Minister said Gul Bahadur Group also undertook vehicle borne IED attack in North Waziristan in which civilians and a soldier embraced Shahdat and multiple were injured.
He said precision strikes were undertaken last night against Kharjis of Gul Bahadur Group. In these precision strikes, minimum sixty to seventy Kharjis and their leadership have been sent to hell based on confirmed intelligence reports.
Attaullah Tarar said all speculations and assertions being made regarding targeting of civilians are false and meant to generate support for terrorist groups operating from inside Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan sincerely believes that path forward lies in resolving this complex issue of Indian-sponsored terrorism emanating from Afghan soil through talks and control of non-state actors by Afghan authorities. However, he made it clear that Pakistan has all the rights to safeguard its territorial integrity and the lives of the people of Pakistan, and shall not allow terrorists operating from inside Afghanistan to live in peace.
