Pakistan Airstrikes On Taliban Installations Result In 133 Deaths

On February 27, 2026, Pakistan's military launched a significant operation named 'Ghazab lil-Haq', targeting Taliban military installations in Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of 133 Taliban and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) fighters, with over 200 reported injuries. This retaliatory strike was a response to unprovoked attacks on Pakistani positions along the Durand Line. A military source stated, "After carrying out precise airstrikes, our aircraft are now patrolling Kandahar’s airspace," emphasizing the operational readiness of the Pakistani forces. The strikes reportedly destroyed key Taliban infrastructure, including two command headquarters, three brigade headquarters, and multiple artillery tanks, according to reports from CNN-News18 and SAMAA TV.
